The No-Fun School
-
A school on Long Island sent a letter to parents telling them that the kindergarten show was cancelled because the kids should be concentrating on classwork instead so they'll be ready for college and career. This is for KINDERGARTNERS. College and career are a LONG way away. Doing things like drama and sports are part of the maturing experience and ENHANCE learning. And preventing kids from doing things that nurture creativity and make the days fun will NOT help them in college and career anyway. Since when has kindergarten been academic, anyway? I remember it as mostly play time and nap time. (Washington Post)
