Common core

I really don’t like the new common core curriculum they have for the kindergarten and first grades now. Even with preschool, the children are ill equipped to handle this much work this soon. Since each child moves at their own pace in the beginning, many are just left behind and have to repeat the grade. This is really not good for self esteem at such a tender age. Kindergarten is to prepare children for school by having them in a full day agenda with all of the normal school activities. I am seriously disappointed in the school board for allowing this. You wouldn’t believe how many of the kinder’s are being held back. smh…
