[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious what folks think about the prospect of some kids falling behind their peers and possibly needing to be red-shirted at some point? A lot of course depends on how much learning they’re doing at home on their own, but I wonder how this would affect students next year to have peers in their class who need a lot more support and foundational education because they missed out on it this year. I worry it will slow down the pace of learning for the class as teachers help kids play catch-up on what they missed. Anyone else wondering about these kinds of longer-term effects?[/quote]

It’s PreK. It’s not required.  Please relax about the academics.  These children are 3&4.  It’s gonna be all right. [/quote]

Weird response coming from someone who’s 3 pages and about 20 posts into a thread on DL for PK students. “It doesn’t matter,” indeed. (Oh, yes, before you go off: it does matter for lower SES kids; ECE puts them on a more level playing field with their higher SES peers going into primary school.)

PP, to your question: I hadn’t given this much thought but it’s definitely worthy of discussion, especially considering that PK/K seems to be around the grade when kids are most often redshirted. Perhaps we’ll see an increase in the number of kids held back in PK/K once this whole thing is over. [/quote]
