[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of situation is happening all over the city. While universal pre-K is a great idea, many children are being held to ridiculously high developmentally inappropriate standards. I know quite a few young children, mainly (though not all) boys, who are growing to hate school because they are expected to sit for long periods of time doing worksheets at the age of 3 and having very little unstructured play time, indoors or outdoors. This makes me so sad for our children, who are supposedly being given an advantage by attending pre-school or pre-K. [/quote] Most Preschool and PreK programs in DC don't have kids sitting and working on worksheets all day. Most of what they do IS unstructured play. Especially in a Montessori school. Know what you're talking about before you post.[/quote] OP said that he had previously been in a Montessori school - not that he currently is.[/quote]
