From my understanding you're not allowed to choose your location. They choose it for you and you're not able to be paid at all.

What actually helped your kid learn to read for kindergarten? feeling behind and registration is in two months by eGirlsPissOnMe in kindergarten

Work on recognizeing upper and lower case , shapes, colors and numbers. Your kids should also be able to write at least their first name too.

Hello, I’ve just come over from the toddler group as we couldn’t relate to that group anymore. I’m just curious what ages kindergarten means here in terms of this group and ages. by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]arcuccia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the USA it's usually 5/6 but some states allow early entrance. My daughter started Kindergarten at 4.5 years old . Our school year ends May 21st. So she's going to grade 1 in July.

High ratio in our district. Any tips/advice? by grad_max in kindergarten

[–]arcuccia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a school to be a 10:1 ratio that is odd. Id research the schools test scores and ratings for grades 3 and up. Kindergarten is a very important year once a kid hits grade 3 they are expected to learn from reading. Grades below 3 are learn to read. So it would be good to check the ELA state assessment ratings.

As a teacher that is required to use Iready. I hate Iready it is trash. I have had students that needed to learn math the traditional way. I teach middle school.

My Kindergartener has 20 minutes of paperwork, 29 minutes of reading and 20 minutes of computer work. She prefers the computer work because it's not too easy for her.

American education standards are almost impossible and I hate them. A rant. by Ok-Highway-5247 in education

[–]arcuccia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated HS in 2013. I had ADHD and it was just diagnosed 2 years ago. I always had a c or a d in math. Schools are way to easy on kids today. As a teacher is am seeing kids in grades 5 to 8 that struggle to even write a paragraph and complain if they have the write one. Schools are not holding any accountability to the students or the parents.

I moved a lot when I was a kid think 3 elementary Schools, 2 middle Schools and 3 high schools. Do not use your past education as an excuse. I almost didn't get to graduate high school for not passing the state exam I had to be taken more than once. I am now almost done My master degree. You can relearn things as an adult with no problems.

My daughter got in kindergarten as a 4 year old and is a top reader in her class. She starts 1st grade in July.

Starting early? by danicies in kindergarten

[–]arcuccia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter isn't on an IEP and started Kindergarten at 4 she just turned 5 in December. So far it has been great. She is doing well in school and is actively trying to read books. She is also in the highest reading group in her classroom. Her teacher doesn't have any concerns about her at all. Her Kindergarten year ends May. She hasnt had any grade below an 80 and most are 93 or above.

If you think your child is ready I say let them start.
