As a matter of fact, I have seen many discrepancies from different kindergarten classrooms through the years. In some classrooms, they begin teaching the alphabet - one letter at a time. In other classrooms, the expectation is that students already know how to read, and write before they even walk through the door. Why the vast difference in expectations? Isn't there supposed to be one standard by which all schools must adhere to?
Apparently there is, according to the Georgia Department of Education. Many of the standards are found on the Georgia DOE website, but what is taught to your children is actually determined before they walk into the classroom. Depending on what cognitive skills your student has, there may be more (or less) that your student will be learning this year than what you had expected.
If you have any questions about Kindergarten and live in the Atlanta area, feel free to contact me at learning ridge@gmail.com.
