I’m in a crunchy granola 1st grade class 2-3x a week. This school is big on whole child and not shoving the kids into academics too soon. But guess what? Slow as they are with the stuffing the kid full of info, not a single worksheet in sight, those little cuties are all learning to read and doing VERY WELL. They are happy and proud of their new abilities and they are counting and doing arithmetic as well. I’m not worried about these kids, but indeed they have good teachers and parents who care.
We should be worried about all the kids who came to this world accidentally when their parents briefly met and messed up, who are daycare-housed in schools, and don’t have either teachers or parents who are able to give a damn.
Let me guess.....
They come from families with parents who care.
Right?
An American classroom not immersed in common core? It sounds like you’re talking about a homeschool or private/parochial school not taking federal funding.
