[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is there is a huge push for dumbing down our kids.  Holding them back a year from school, only allowing play vs. learning and basically lazy parenting as that allows you to be hands off and justify being hands off.  I don' know much about primary day as we have a fall kid who missed the cut off but we went to an academic preschool and it was amazing for my child, who was vey well prepared to transition to another school.  There were no issues in K as others complain here as they prepared him on what to expect.  Its ironic that the people pushing play based are also the ones holding back their kids or complaining K is too academic when its really dumbed down for some of our kids who were prepared for it.  Kids need a balance and complaining about a school being academic or too structured is bizarre as come at least 3/4 that is what kids need to prepare them for or why send them at all to preschool?

Fast forward 12 years and they'll be the same parents bribing college officials to get their kids a spot. [/quote]
