A friend of mind who is a teacher(
) told me this when I was concerned about DS in Kindergarten. I changed the topic very quickly.
Yes, it gets under my skin when I hear a teacher say this. And they often imply "I know more than you because I am a teacher". One of these teacher friends told me that Kindergarten is just about getting to know where everything in the school is and how it operates. What a waste!
I've wondered if the "catching up" thing is about getting the kids to a point where they can all read.
