On the subject of kindergarten kids, this sign is taken outside another kindergarten in the same neighborhood.
'About 300 kindergarten students took the Cambridge Young Learners English Test, and their average score reached 86%'
WTF?! Alice always thought that attending kindergarten meant making friends, learning social skills, having fun, sharing (and fighting over) toys and breaking cookies! Now kindergartens are advertising their international test scores? FYI: A lot of parents in Hong Kong do send their kids to take the test, a test designed for second language learner. Seriously, testing our preschoolers? There is something wrong with our society and values.
you talking to me?

My daughter will be beginning Kindergarten in the fall. I was shocked for them to tell me that there will be entrance placement tests to determine what she knows.
I'm actually feeling really nervous about them because I've had my children at home with me this year.
I left you a comment on my blog, but I also wanted to mention it here. What happens if a child can't be admitted to Kindergarten? Where does she go then?
That's crazy!!!
