[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would all this be solved by simply starting K later across the board, like 6? Is this a school readiness issue or a competitive advantage issue?[/quote]

Kindergarten used to be less academic with more playing, music, and focus on SEL over making sure kids learn to read. That's flipped now because of concerns about academics. K is now essentially what 1st was back in the 80s.

I think we just need to respect the developmental stage of the kids. Don't expect 5 yr to olds (and especially not 4 year olds!) to sit at desks doing worksheets all day. Call it Kindergarten or pre-kindergarten, it doesn't matter, but as long as the focus is in play-based learning until 6, it would be more developmentally appropriate.[/quote]

Not around here and ever consider if your child is not ready you failed to prepare them.  K is school.  They go to learn to read, write [b]and more.[/b] [/quote]

That "more" is key, especially in the early years: Does your kid have the social and emotional skills to cope with seven hours in a group setting? [/quote]
