[QUOTE="donna723, post: 399958, member: 1883"] Janet, where is she, age-wise, with the other kids in her pre-K class? I think any teacher will tell you that there is a big variation in the ones that are on the older end from the younger ones. Because of the age cut off, my son was almost six when he started kindergarten while some of the younger ones were just barely five - makes a HUGE difference at that age! I also think that they push the kids in to way too much too soon. It seems like when they enter kindergarten now they expect them to already know all the things that they used to learn while they were IN kindergarten! Maybe it's because of all the educational toys out there now or all the kids' shows on TV or that there's so many of them in day cares and pre-schools. My daughter has kids' programs on all day long for my 20-month old grandson. He does pay attention to some of it but mostly he likes to play music and dance around the living room! [/QUOTE]
