Why did you have to grow up? Remember 30 years ago when we had snacktime and naptime and painting and the teacher told my mom she was worried about me because I didn't know how to use scissors? How come you don't do scissors so much anymore? What happened to snacktime and naptime?
Remember when my sister's happy kindergarten swinging picture was in the paper? How come you don't do recess anymore?
Remember 6 years ago when you did finger painting and brush painting and fruit loop necklaces and masks and spider hats? That was fun. Remember letter of the week and you did letter puppets and letter songs and letter games? That was fun too.
Remember when kids went to kindergarten to make and play with friends? We liked that.
Now you just do worksheets. No offense, but they are boring...and kids don't learn as well. Coloring the worksheets would help but I guess you are too old for crayons.
Kindergarten, as I have watched you grow up I have decided that I never want to outgrow: coloring, swinging, recess, friends, cutting, snacks, naptime, puppets, playtime, picture books, ..... All those things that made you great 30 years ago.
At least you are still teaching me.

AMEN!
Aw, what a great post! I agree with you 100,000%!!!
I agree! That is what Kaylynn does in preschool now minus the recess. It's sad to thing we are still behind than the rest of the world. They start so young.
That is so insightfully accurate!!!
I don't understand why they even need homework to teach them about "responsibility"...come on, really?!?
You forgot to mention the "research projects" they are sent home with. Both Weston and Braedon had them. Even though they were short I was still kind of ticked because there was no way they were able to do much by themselves. I have fond memories of my kindergarten and worksheets and projects were never part of them.
