So, you are projecting your interest and experiences as the ideal for what it should be for kids who have very different interests. [b]My kid has no interest in Aesop's Fables.[/b] He is more interested in learning geography, higher level math and a few other things. So, in your class because that is what you are interested in, that works for all? You are basically encouraging kids to check out with daydreaming and creating their own little worlds rather than engaging and stimulating them. I send my kid to school to learn. K. is supposed to provide a strong foundation and learning to daydream and check out because the foundations my child needs are not taught is not a good start to academics. My kid needs help writing paragraphs, spelling, higher level math, and more complex topics in science. Teachers need to get to know their students, understand where they are at and meet those individual needs.[b] I don't want my child coping. I want my child learning.

You don't think there is learning in Aesop's Fables?  That is your problem.  Maybe  that is not your point here, but it is clear that you expect your child to be learning only what HE wants to learn--or, perhaps, what YOU want him to learn.  I know you threw Aesop's in as an example, but this is a good illustration of YOUR problem.    
Well, here is a point, what if I would rather have my child learn classic literature than geography?  Then, does that mean I can complain about him being bored because he is being taught geography?  It makes about as much sense.
