So many kids are in headstart and/or preschool and are being taught their ABC's, counting, all of the things that
used to be taught in Kindergarten back in the day. In my grandsons schools, they would have liked for them to know all of that and how to spell/write their names and much more by their first day of Kindergarten. It kind of puts some kids at a disadvantage if they have not had any preschool experience. It seems that the kids have waaaay more homework now than when my kids were in school. Even the Kindergartener's have sometimes an hour or more every night.
