  First of all, the are testing PRESCHOOLERS for K readiness. This has always happened. Where have you people been? The problem now is the standards are ramped up because of Crappy Core.

And for the person who says they aren't testing K -- I call bullshit. T[b]hey are prepping them in K-2[/b] so they'll be all "rigor" ready for the soul crushing third grade tests. [/quote]

What do you call prepping?  Learning how to take a test?

When my DC was in K last year, DC was coloring shapes and learning to count, reading books at DC's level, learning to write letters, etc.  I saw no test prepping going on in K.  Yes,they are trying to teach kids to read with purpose, ie, understand what is going on.  Don't you do that at home when you read to your DC... "Why did so and so do that?", "Do you think so and so feels sad that this happened?", etc..   If the Ker doesn't know, then you teach them, you discuss it with them.  Why is that a bad thing?

In 1st grade, DC did take the MAP-P test, but they've been doing that for years, pre CC.

So, what and how exactly are they prepping Kers for CC tests?[/quote]
