/dev/null Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Parents taking a leading role in their children's education? Blashpemy! Heresy I say. It is the role of the state. Without the guidance of the state, these children may not come to understand the benefit of student loans and 30 year mortgages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 He’s an active child, Ms. Collier said, “and not quite ready to focus on a full day of classroom work.” Doesnt this mom know that all she has to do is feed this kid pills everyday and he's fixed?!?

BuffaloBud Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 "Kindergarten has become the new first grade." I guess that happens with 2 income families and daycare. YIKES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Care to elaborate on what this has to do with two income families and daycare? As 2 income parents can't stay home with the kiddies, daycare has become more than "daycare" it has become "intro-kindergarten". The schools recognize this and now have 1st grade curriculum in kindergarten. I've seen this as my manager's son started kindergarten and showed me the grading card. No more plays well with others, colors inside the lines, knows A,B, C's, and naps well. That is what I am basing my comment from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been going on forever, except it dosen't always happen in kindergarden and no one ever used a cool sounding sports term to describe the practice. It is not unusual at all to hold back kids who are on the small/young/immature end of the scale at some point in their childhood and it certainly can be beneficial for the child.

As a matter of fact the phenomenon that the article describes is pretty much the opposite of what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: "rigor", "full day kindergarten". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Huh? All I remember of Kindergarten is naps, milk and frying ants in the play ground with a magnifying glass. Is this really all people have to worry about? Send the brat to school, for Christs sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading by myself in the corner while the stupid kids (i.e. everyone else) were trying to learn how to tie their shoes. That really explains a hell of a lot about me, come to think of it.

In todays world they may have played it safe and sedated me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
