Written by Peggy Orenstein: Re: The Way We Live Now...Excerpt:
"According to "Crisis in the Kindergarten" a report recently released by the Alliance for Childhood, a non profit research and advocacy group, all that pre-kindergarten testing is wasted; it neither predicts nor improves young children's educational outcomes. More disturbing, along with other academic demands, like assigning homework to five year olds, it is crowding out the one thing that truly is vital to their future success: play!!!!!!"
I couldn't have stated it any better. Please go this website to view the entire article
www.nytimes.com/2009/05/03/magazine and look for Kindergarten Cram.
Please post any of your questions or comments and I will get back to you.
Until next time,
