[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 149205, member: 1498"] Interesting comments. I was a product of the early childhood education system of the 50's. Your description of your son is what children were suppose to be in the 50's - lively, impulsive, racing from one thing to another. What we [I]all[/I] were suppose to learn in kindergarten was how to go to school. It sounds like now days, most of us would be diagnosed as ADHD. We were just normal kids. My undergraduate degree from the mid-70's is in education with a social science concentration. Though I am not a classroom teacher, I have the background. Nevertheless, the description of what schools are like these days still catches me off guard from time to time. I am absolutely convinced that the problem is more with the early childhood education system as exists today than with many of the brains of the children who are forced to survive in it. I can't help thinking that we are drugging children to make them fit into an early childhood education model that demands inappropriately mature behavior and learning skills from very young children.
