We are getting far off of the Hurricane Irma topic, but this is an interesting issue to me, so one more thing.

I've shared before that Mrs. TCD is a pre-school teacher.  She teaches 4 year olds, and has done it for years. Every year, after the first few weeks of school, she does an assessment to see where the kids are.  It is a sad phenomenon that kids know less and less basic information each year.  You would think that with all the technology out there, they would have some kind of advantage.  But, the opposite is true.  Kids do not know their ABC's.  They especially do not know how to write, or even color.  They've never heard of nursery rhymes of songs like the ABC song that we probably all knew.  There are some that don't know how to hold a pencil or crayon to even try to write their names- not even the first letter.  And, she teaches at a school where the parents are affluent and have good jobs.  They just don't spend any time working with their children on basic skills.  Very sad.

I have a friend who teaches in a preschool with 1 to 4 year old kids.  Some of them start school not even knowing how to turn a page in a book.  They swipe at the book because that is what they know.  These kids learn how to be students and when they go to kindergarten are ready to learn.
