[quote=Anonymous]We had a fantastic PK experience in DCPS but it certainly was a work hard/play hard approach. It's a predominantly Black Title 1 school that works really hard to address achievement gaps. There was a lot of play time and centers but there was also a lot of reading and learning. As a result a good number of the kindergarteners could then read semi independently entering K. Kids are friends, community is fantastic. So while understand the research, I would focus on the community and school. A happy kid is a happy kid regardless of whether research says they should get 15 more minutes outside. And happy kids achieve more, too. I would also talk to other Black parents at the school to get an idea of their experience. While this city does fail a lot of groups, the individual schools are very different. [/quote]
