[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just chiming in to say I'm so glad that either my kid is so supremely average that I feel confident she will learn plenty in K or I'm so deluded as to her abilities that I don't know I need to worry about this. I'm still chuckling at the mom who thinks her kid dumbs down his capabilities so the K teachers don't know how smart and bored he is, LOL. [/quote]

Yes, she's definitely the winner of this thread. Note that she's also outraged about the academic inadequacies of K before her child has even started kindergarten, and that she spent the summer doing grade 1 workbooks with her child.

Honestly I'd think that PP was punking us all, but I think that attitude is sadly way too common. Last year I volunteered during the first week of kindergarten at my child's school, and was in a classroom to help with dismissal while the teacher finished a get-to-know-you exercise with the kids where she passed a ball to each child and s/he had to say what their favorite part of summer was. One boy got the ball and announced that his favorite part of summer was doing workbooks. Oh, and he was wearing a tie (to MCPS, in typical 90 degree pre-Labor Day weather.)[/quote]
