[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a bit of info, new K parent at a school that doesn't do this.

- ours had an orientation day where they did a bit of 'testing.'  they didn't call it that of course, but they had each kid write their name, tell a story, answer some questions about colors and shapes as the teacher read a book ("what was your favorite part?  do you remember what color that dragon was?") and draw a picture.  One K teacher was doing this with the kids on the rug and another was taking notes.  They were definitely doing that IMO to see who could write / remember / etc.

- my kid is an anxious type and would have HATED this.  He's doing amazing in K and we are so pleased, but a lot of that is being comfortable with rules and routines.  He knows his teacher, classroom and classmates already and is excited about going - can't imagine it'd be the same in this situation.

- how on earth do the teachers "pick" kids?  There will obviously be kids every teacher wants - the cutest ones, the sweetest ones, the funniest ones.  That seems like a recipe for disaster.  Does a third party select them?

[b]- Seems to add a lot more pressure/stress on the teachers and would be better for them to jump right in getting to know their class[/b][/quote]

I'd like to hear what teachers think of this.  [/quote]
