[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love your kid. Give them a strong foundation of confidence and basics of reading and writing.  In first grade why do they have to know how to write an essay? I was 6 starting in K in 1978.  I knew not one word of English.  My English sucked until maybe 4-5th grade.  My parents left me alone until then.  My mom supplemented my English through xtra homework in reading and writing until about 7 grade from there.  I tested at 7 grade to have like 10 grade vocab.  I took AP English through high school and in college continued to get As on papers.  I love literature and I studied international relations and journalism.

Again - life is long - preparing too early is not a guarantee your kid will excel or be who you want them to be.  If they are not an idiot, they are going to be ok at age 5!  At age 10 they will start freaking out and wanting to learn as I did.  High school is when you want then to hit their stride you don't want to burn them or yourself out by age 10! [/quote]

+1000 I love your philosophy and story.  Love your child, give them time, life is long.  Do you really think when you are watching your child on their wedding day, or the day they become a parent you will be remembering and still upset on what they did or didn't do in kindergarten?  Remember, the [b]life skills[/b] are what is important then.[/quote]
