[quote=Anonymous]The K curriculum is incredibly easy. In fact, MCPS should be embarrassed its do bad. Its even worse that MCPS discourages kids from starting early and in some cases pushes red shirting. I honestly think that part of the way MCPS operates is to increase the likelihood that as many kids as possible already know 2 years ahead of the material so the system looks good with a crappy curriculum and variable quality of teachers. There is still a good deal of sitting in K even though its not as bad as 1 st grade. They are looking to see if your child will sit still and behave while doing boring activities. The only thing to prep would be to have your child familiar with the way MCPS gives assignments and worksheets. If you are coming from Montessori there are a few things that they wouldn't have seen before such as tally charts etc. These are very simple for a kid to learn but keep in mod that MCPS is all about kids repeating the same thing over and over again.
