[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a tiger mom? Kindergartners should be learning through play. [/quote]I’m the child of immigrants, but my spouse who isn’t is also concerned. I don’t think it’s a Tiger Mom thing, but a generational shift. [/quote] Does the country your parents come from not know anything about child development? At the kindergarten stage playing is the best way to learn. Not with textbooks, not with sitting and doing homework, not drilling a kid over and over. [/quote] Play is not a substitute for teaching. Colors, numbers, and alphabet need to be taught. Phonics needs to be taught so kids can decode English. Early reading with CVC words needs to be taught. [/quote]
