[quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to read this entire thread--I definitely get the gist--but I have to add that in the '70s, kindergarten was half-day playtime; basically, what preschool is today, since preschool was a rarity for most kids then. We weren't taught to read until the second half of first grade ("Dick and Jane," which all of my kids could read while still in preschool). AFAIK, no one questions the literacy of those in their 40s and 50s today. If anything, I find the current pace of standards-based learning in the lower grades much too quick. Young children need a LOT of time for exploration and simply letting the lessons sink in.[/quote]
