[quote=Anonymous]We are in DCPS. My son, the first day of kindergarten, was asked to write about what he did that summer (unfortunately he could only write his name) - there was nightly homework which involved writing (annoying since my son had to copy what I wrote since he couldn't write along yet). I never heard parents complaining about their kids not being challenged. They put the 5 or 6 kids who could read (not mine) in one class and had an advanced reading group. In 1st and 2nd grade, they started really stressing comprehension rather than just being able to sit and say the words. The teacher was experienced and I respected her and let her do her thing. Overall it was a good experience, but I think moving more slowly with writing might have benefitted my child. [/quote]
