Using your own kid as a standard for the standards is hardly scientific. Teachers who have many students would be much better judges. They see the range. [/quote]

1. Many kids have hardly seen a book before they start school.  Go pick up a book in a language you do not know and learn to read it.  Better yet, pick up one with a different alphabet--Arabic or Russian.  Start by learning the sounds of each letter.  I hope you already have a speaking vocabulary, because you also need to understand what you read.
2. Also, all kids are not able to follow simple directions. Some kids cannot do that.  I taught K--do you know that some kids have to learn to do this and THEN that?  That was part of teaching K.  You would start with one action and then add, until a child could follow two or three simple directions without help.  
3. Please remember when you get to math that some kids do not start K knowing how to count to ten.  Teaching one to one correspondence with counting comes first.  Yes, counting to 100 is not appropriate for some kids.

This is just a start.  The standards are not appropriate.  Sure, some kids can achieve them.  However, I have seen many bright kids who would benefit from waiting another year to read.  There are so many things that they could learn that will help them learn faster in the future.
