对大多数学生来说K都太容易了
去年好像看到几个类似研究。这是一个,Education Week上的简要介绍。
Study Finds That Kindergarten is Too Easy

Kindergarten might be the new 1st grade but it is still too easy. A forthcoming study in the peer-refereed American Educational Research Journal finds that students make bigger gains in reading and math when they learn more advanced content such as adding numbers and matching letters to sounds. Yet kindergarten teachers spend nearly twice as much time on basics such as alphabet recognition and counting out loud. Study authors Amy Claessens, Mimi Engel and Chris Curran found that the majority of kindergartners already know how to do these things when they start school.
但也要看学校看学区。我记得我儿子上K之前去学校考试,呵呵,公立学校,考试内容为:会不会写自己名字,会不会从1数到10
,字母表上认识几个。当时就有个爸爸在学校门外大声抱怨学校不按照学生水平分班,他女儿已经认字会算算术等等。等真入学了,正好他女儿跟我儿子一个班,呵呵,在班上一比,最多算平均水平。
而且并不是所有超前的孩子都是家长推的。
