YES. I seriously debated sending my child to therapy over this between K and 1. They are ridiculous. My child came out of K afraid to ask teachers questions, afraid to take risks, completely confused about what she was doing wrong, totally anxious. This year it is better, but she still hates it and it makes her feel like a bad person.
The idea that reading can be taught but motor and executive function issues are behavior "choices" make me want to go seriously postal.
Is your child struggling with this or are you just curious? We've kind of figured out how to cope with it. Let me know if you want to know more.
From what I see they are super bad for highly sensitive gifted kids and children who can't control their bodies (even the most minor executive function/motor planning struggles).
