[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God...the idea that an a kindergarten CARES class is apparently supposed to look like:

11 kindergarteners sitting on computers
1 Janet from Accounting, supervised by ???
0 ECE qualified adults
0 academic planning aside from whatever is coming through the computer
6 hours of empty time per day where the kids do ??? with an unqualified adult
0 support staff

This is insanity.[/quote]
And maybe 0 puzzles, games, or other shared entertainments during down times and rainy recesses?[/quote]

It makes me really sad if this is what happens. It will be so inappropriate and possibly traumatizing for the littlest kids.

If anyone involved thinks about this even a little, it becomes clear that the adult in that classroom HAS to provide some other form of stimulation aside from the virtual classroom. And probably the adult should have some training and experience with early childhood education. And probably that stimulation should be marginally educational in form (lets face it--at k level, any organized activity is probably somewhat educational).

And that is a classroom. With a teacher.[/quote]
