We had our Kindy (FYOS) info night earlier this week. Apparently our kids as a cohort:
- don't know the alphabet - don't know the sounds letters make - don't know their sight words - can't write their own name - can't hold pencils - can't form letters properly - can't count - can't speak properly ("it's not cute") - have no respect for the teachers - have no manners Hmmm ... I guess this is going to be a LONG year! (PS - I am sure it is not me, must be all the other parents!) |

I thought that being taught most of those things were what FYOS was all about?

I thought we sent them to Kindy so that they could
learn how to hold a pencil learn the alphabet learn to read learn to write learn their numbers and mathematics The things on that list that are the parents responsibility to teach before they start kindy are manners and respect (which is part of having manners!) I'm on the fence about speaking properly. Sometimes not speaking properly is the result of a physical or developmental problem and unless the parents are both educated and have access to enough money these problems cannot be corrected by the parents until the school system is involved. |

That's a heck of a list! Isn't it only 1 month into the school year? Or is this somewhere else where it's 2nd semester, now?

My daughter has just turned 4 (in daycare preschool here in Queensland), is I imagine of regular intelligence and can't do all those things (she can't write her name without clues and she can't read any words yet).
And we read together all the time, play in a way to encourage learning etc... she just isn't at that stage yet. |
