What kindergarteners need to know...

After reading this article, I feel even more that standards are being placed too early in schools. I know that it is important but in my experience, students learn several things just from playing. However, because standards are being required as early as preschool sometimes, I think this idea is great. It is a great guide for teachers so that they do not forget the standards. It is becoming more and more pressured for teachers to do well. In some districts, a teacher's job is at stake if her students do not perform well. It is good for students to get into the practice of meeting standards.
