I refused to attend kindergarten, enjoyed freedom too much. I started first grade at age 5, fighting all the way.
To: PoloSec
Why don't they just home-school them.
I mean it's only Kindergarten - shapes, colors, alphabet - even an idiot parent could teach their kids that stuff.

i agree Home School and keep them in Home Schooling as long as possible. There are great home schooling groups and internet based learning systems as well as local, state, and national conventions promoting ans supporting this noble endeavor.

Let the brainwashing begin a year early. The new-new normal will be more perverse than ever.

Researchers say kindergarten has become the new first grade where little tots are taught to read and write. WHAT?! Our kids went to Private School and they had to know their ABC's, how to print their ABC's and how to read before the school would take them for kindergarten!
How dumbed down have these schools become?! BTW, Illinois doesn't "require" Kindergarten in the Public Schools and many school districts have cut it entirely because of cost.

I remember kindergarten as only 4 hours long and they did a double shift.

For everybody or just for 5-year-olds?

We've been home-schooling for eight years. Although tough going these days with only one paycheck - wouldn't have it any other way.
The people we have met along the way have been just awesome, a real blessing.

I don’t know NY’s dept of ed standards, but I bet there is some sort of financial payoff to the schools by the state for not only enrollment but attendance

One of my four-year old twin girls is already reading at a third-grade level. The other one is reading at a first-grade level.
We homeschool.

I never knew it
wasn't mandatory in NY. I think this article is mistaken.
Kindergarten has been mandatory in NY since the '50's. If not, then why did we all go?

Policymakers in Buffalo say they need the law to improve kindergarten absenteeism rates. In other words, the parents don't want it, but the overlords do.
I thought the government worked for the PEOPLE, not vice versa.
