[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is  a summer birthday, is doing well and by five years old there is really no need for a nap nor will your child really want one. As long as your child knows the basics going in, letters and numbers etc, they should not struggle. The only issue might be impulse control if they can't sit still for 20 minutes at a time but then again, that would be an issue in private school as well. They actually move arounda lot between doing morning meetings then going to specials, the coming back and working on reading groups, then PE or recess. It's not like they are sitting in one place the entire day just scribbling in notebooks.  Your child will be fine.[/quote]

Bull.  My child's classroom had them sitting still for the entire day, minus 20 minutes of recess, which was frequently taken away.  They sat and did worksheets without moving or even getting up for water or the bathroom for almost the entire day.  They only had PE once a week.  FCPS is a hideously bad school district with no across the board standards at all.  You were lucky - we were not.  I hope OP gets a better school and teacher than we did.[/quote]

Wow, that was not our experience at all.  My kids in K had a lot of different hands on activities and rarely sat and did worksheets.  It sounds like your kid got a terrible teacher.  What you describe is not what goes on at our FCPS in K at all.  [/quote]

I'm pretty sure 2 days a week PE is a standard across all FCPS schools. Some even have 3 days.[/quote]
