[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this really a real post?  I don't know anyone who wants this academic a curriculum for their TWO year old.[/quote]

OP here.  Yes, it's a real post.  I do understand that maybe a strong academic curriculum isn't ideal for all parents at that age, but because DD has been presented with this since she was 2, I don't want her to back track, should she enter PK3 at a DC Public or Charter school.  [/quote]

to OP -- As a parent of 2 who both read by PK4 and are both advanced across subjects, I find your post terribly misguided.  Kids should be encouraged to their abilities, but those abilities will present differently for every kid and certainly not by age 3.  What you describe as "curriculum" would be grossly inappropriate for the majority of PK3 kids (and certainly 2 year olds).  Good EC programs will encourage students who demonstrate interest and ability.  The kids should get that supplementation at home from parents if desired.  There's nothing wrong with that, but to expect the schools to provide it is a fool's mission.  PS is more about social and emotional development -- there are no prizes for being the most advanced 2 or 3 year old
