Education Changes of the Kindergarten Children
We have two sets of twins who are in fourth grade and kindergarten at a weli-regarded public school in Bowie. The difference I see in the four years since my older children were in kindergarten is astounding.
I do not remember the older children having tests in kindergarten. Now they have tests at least monthly in math, reading, social studies and science. The tests are multiple choice so that they can practice filling in little bubbles to be ready for the Maryland State Assessment in three years. For this week’s math worksheet, they were required to cut and paste the days of the week in order (acceptable to me) and then explain how they knew their answer was correct (what are they supposed to write for that).
This year’s kindergartners were starting to write sentences by the second month. They started with a simple " I see" and quickly moved up to things such as, "I go to school." They are expected to learn a new sentence each week and write it with a capital letter at the beginning, correct letter formation and spelling, spacing between the words, and a period at the end. Is this really essential for kindergarten?
Four years ago, kindergartners took a rest time for the first half of the year. Now, even the pre-K at our school isn’t allowed a rest time. One of my daughters copes well with the long day. The other, who was in Head Start last year (where they had a full hour of rest each afternoon), is tired, cranky and overstimulated.
Both of my daughters’ teachers are wonderful and try to work in some fun within the tight constraints of the curriculum. One of the teachers has told me that the kindergarten curriculum is what used to be the first-grade curriculum. What evidence do we have that this pushing is beneficial to the children? While some of the children can handle the pressure well, others cannot. One of my daughters has mastered her kindergarten reading and moved on to first-grade words. The other one struggles to keep up and hates school.
The parent who chooses to teach her own does not become a martyr to her children’s education. Tutoring one’s child takes neither the time nor the energy that teaching a classroom full of children would require. And, no matter what educational choice is made, there will be trade-offs.
Choosing a private school, for instance, might entail a long commute and/or a second job on the parents’ part; opting to send one’s offspring to public school, on the other hand, might require more volunteer hours from the family. Both of these choices find parents helping their children with homework or school projects in the evenings and on weekends. So choosing home education doesn’t necessarily mean spending that much more time on one’s children’s education. Rather, it is simply time spent in different ways.
In order to prepare for the Maryland State Assessment, kindergarteners are required to______.
选项
A、study math, reading, and science
B、do tests in form of multiple choices
C、explain their answers in worksheet
D、cut and paste the days of the week in order
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。根据题干关键词Maryland State Assessment定位到第二段。由该段第二句可知,幼儿园的小朋友每月都有各种考试,第三句指明这些考试的出题形式是多项选择题,目的是让孩子们习惯于三年后的Assessment中填涂答题卡的需要,故[B]正确。[A]是考试的范围,[C]、[D]是考试的内容,故排除。
