[quote=Anonymous][quote]Is that what we want for Kindergarten, though? A place where a developmentally perfectly average child wouldn't function well, because the standards are higher than what the average child can manage? If this change towards a more academic K had led to increased academic performance for our primary and secondary students, increasing readiness for college or life after high school, it might make sense. Those aren't the results I'm seeing. Why not keep K a place where perfectly average children - including those who still need a rest - can thrive? [/quote] As a former K teacher, I totally agree. Many of the kids I taught in K learned to read--it may have appeared unstructured-but it wasn't. [/quote]
