[quote=Anonymous][quote]The new standards call for kindergarten children to master over 90 skills related to literacy and mathmatics. Is this necessary for children to succeed in school? Experts know of no research showing that children who read at age five do better in the long run than children who learn at six or seven. The proposed standards will almost certainly add to the stress already afflicting many children in kindergarten and the early grades—stress associated by clinicians with growing problems of aggressive behavior in young children and with burnout by third or fourth grade. [/quote] Totally agree with this statement. I taught first grade for years and saw many kids that came in not reading and quickly surpassed others. [/quote]
