[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying all kids with SN have behavioral problems is absurd.  My child is SN and has some delays but is in no way a behavioral problem.  SN is a broad term from ADHD to language, occupational therapy and other delays.

To me the bigger issue is that parents and preschools are not preparing children for the structure of K.  The play based are failing our kids by not teaching them the basics and foundations on how to be successful at school.  We go to preschool/school that has academics and structure and by the time the kids get to K., they are all more than prepared.  As a parent, it is your job to make sure your child is prepared.  If you blame the school or academics saying they are too much, maybe you child is not ready for K. and should do another year of preschool (or two).  K. is for learning, not play.[/quote]

So, your point is that you know nothing about child development?  You don't prepare kids to be in an overly academic environment at a young age by putting them into an overly academic environment at an even younger age.

Also, if you think learning and play are opposites, you really don't know anything about child development. [/quote]

My child and many others do far better with the structure and having an academic environment absolutely got them ready for school.  There is plenty of play, too much for what I want.  But, you cannot complain kids are being reprimanded for not standing in a line or following directions if you throw them into a new environment where the expectations are very different.[/quote]

you seem to have a pretty low opinion of the capacities of a 5 year old. Even if they have never stood on a line in their life it should be something they can pick up within a week or two. [/quote]
