Letter Coming To School Boards

The St. Albans Messenger had a great article on Friday regarding full day kindergarten in Fairfax.  Bottom line:  The kindergarten curriculum is changing and hence the need for full day.

Really, you think? I thought it said in the overall message that there is an argument for both sides. It's a very long story and the opposing viewpoint is in the last part of it. I just think it's important to keep things in perspective here. The newspaper article does state the curriculum change and appears to weigh in favor of a full day, but it also notes that there is research that supports a full day and research that  refutes the claims of the benefits of a full day.

Everything is up for interpretation and my thoughts on the final paragraph is: regardless of what adults decide, the 5 y/o are going to continue to be the same as they are and not care what we think about any of it.

I just finished the article and I thought it presented both sides well.
Nice job, tough decision.
