[quote=Anonymous]Like a PP, I understand that you are overwhelmed, but you are also basing your stress on a lot of things that are just patently untrue:

1) Kindergartners are not required to read and write, nor is that even common.  I would say about half of the kids in my child's kindy class could handle the "easy readers" and some didn't read at all.  A handful of outliers were reading easy chapter books.  It's a spectrum, and the schools are used to seeing it all.

2) There are no book reports in kindergarten, or first grade.  Not sure about second, but will report back!

3) Yes, the 30 minute recess is a bummer, but my child does okay by having outdoor play before school plus after school.  It's fine.

4) The PARCC tests don't start until 3rd grade.  Any testing up until that point is either for group placement, or to track progress.

5) My child's class of 16 contains the following:

White - 5
Asian - 1
Latinx- 3
Black - 7

Just because you are living somewhere with no diversity doesn't mean the rest of us are.
