  • Junior kindergarten

    This morning's online Star Bulletin had an editorial on Junior kindergarten.
    The new program is expected to give them a better chance at academic success. It is a good beginning, particularly for children who have not gained learning skills through preschool or who are younger and perhaps less prepared.
    I found it interesting that children today need so much help. Is it because all us adults today feel like we were "failed" by our past generation or is it because we see how the youth today can't handle thier futures? Back in the day, PARENTS made sure thier kids were ready for school by reading to them and TEACHING them at home.

    I hope the great brains of the DOE and the STATE can make this work. Nowdays with all the programs like HEADSTART and preschool there should be no excuse for a child not being ready for school. IMO, starting a child off knowing that they're not ready for REAL kindergarten, will turn the child off about school.
