[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our private school has assigned seating, rings a bell halfway through when they are allowed to chat, and otherwise keeps them settled down. This is lunch with ps3-K, though. I like it because DD needs to eat. She is such a slow eater, and would not eat if she could talk. One private school we looked at seemed to do a really good job. They let the kids recess BEFORE lunch, then grouped the younger kids with older kids. And, they all ate family style. It was great.[/quote] That's absurd. The number one predictor of a preschooler's academic success is their oral language, and you develop it by talking. Why would you send your kid to school so their growth could be slowed down in this way. If they need more time to eat, then give them more time, especially in preschool.[/quote]
