[quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old is one of the most advanced academically in his class of high SES income families and is still working on everything that's involved in counting to 100 such as writing numbers, figuring out which number is bigger or smaller, reading numbers, counting them, sorting into groups of 10. The CC goals are perfectly reasonable to me. I'm sure there are some 2 year olds who can do this, but there aren't a lot. If you go into K with this kind of alarmist attitude, you'll be in for a long haul. Many kids come in being able to score the most soccer goals, make the most friends, dance well, read long books, make the prettiest picture or clay sculpture. They all deal with kindergarteners being below their child in some way. It's a beginning grade. It won't matter who was ahead at the beginning of the year by 1st grade.[/quote]
