About School (Preschool, PreK, Kindy)
Am I just unrealistic?
I was looking at the Florida "Sunshine standards" for education, and it lists, as some of the standards for Kindegarten learning, things like counting 1 to 5. Can't all preschoolers count to 5? And learning colors. Like, PRIMARY colors. Again, don't they know that in preschool or before?
I really want to know if I am right to be shocked at the low-seeming expectations or not (i.e., am I misunderstanding, or is that really reasonable). What are kids supposed to be getting out of Preschool/PreK/Kindergarten??
