This is my first experience with kindergarten, so not sure what is typical of any new K-er. My ds keeps asking to "skip" school days. He has not had any significant negative experiences (that I know of), but each week (we're a month in) he asks if he has go "every day".
I asked what he thinks about the workload of Kindy. He said the handwriting is hard, "but nothing else". His handwriting is actually amazing me, it looks fantastic (he's a lefty, can't tie his shoes yet).
The work is soooooooo basic. His teacher has not (sigh) started ds on a challenge packet per what she said. DS is bringing home worksheet after worksheet with "the letter O" or "circle the pictures that start with S".
Not sure if I'm venting or need advice. I hate to be too pushy...but I also hate seeing my kid be so hobbled. Bah.
Wondering if I should pursue our own achievement testing (full battery of IQ out of our budget right now).
