The 'expert' from - as memory serves - the Department of Education (or whatever it was called) explained patiently that kindergarten was for 'pre-reading', 'pre-math', etc., and not for the actual teaching of skills. Since eldest offspring could already read, I wasn't thrilled; neither, judging from comments, were other parents. However, the best comment of the day was from a brave pre-school teacher who proclaimed: "If they ask, I will show them how to print their names". Fortunately, this was a private school.<br /><br />In later years, this school came under fire from 'experts' several times because the kindergarten class contained too many resources for real learning and too few for all this 'pre'stuff.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277713882450290045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573533210099052368.post-53994596929948693002012-11-19T09:48:19.218-05:002012-11-19T09:48:19.218-05:00For sure.
