[quote=Anonymous]IMHO, kids should not be taught more advanced mathematical concepts such as multiplication and division in preschool or in kindergarten. They should be playing outside as much as possible and learning social skills until they are ready to sit and focus in the classroom. It's nuts that schools in the area are being pressured to push kids academically early. Let them be kids. Once kids reach 9 years old, their brain will be ready. My son knew the multiplication table in kindergarten. We stopped enriching him and focused on developing him physically through multiple team sports. He turned 9 a month ago and mastered long division with 2 digit divisors in just 2 hours. He was ready. Kids will eventually catch up. We don't need to rush them. [/quote]
