Most five year olds have not napped in 2+ years.  If they attended preschool, [b]they should know how to listen, sit in a circle and share[/b].  They should know their letters and numbers via preschool.  If not, the preschool and parents failed them.  Homework is simple in K and 1st.  I don't see the complaints in less you don't work with your child at home.  Concerned about the lack of recess - put them in activities or take them to the playground before and after school.  The school's job is to teach. Kids can play on their own time.  My first grader is starting multiplication at home per his request. Sadly, the school will not teach him.  If anything, it needs to go at a faster pace, not slower.  And, if kids cannot handle basic K. then yes, they probably should be held back, or better, send them to a preschool that prepares them as clearly the play based is not.[/quote]

Sure, all kids should [i]know [/i]these things, but it doesn't mean they [i]do [/i]them.  Lack of recess is a problem, developmentally speaking.  Not that many years ago, K was play based, and the children learned there.  So while the school's job is to teach, you're a bit off with how you expect them to go about doing it.  [/quote]
