Start Kindergarten with 3rd grade curriculum

It is my understanding menstrual periods of little girls are coming at earlier ages and if that is indeed the case, maturation of the little boy is relative.

If these observations have been proven as ‘fact’ than why start a child off in kindergarten learning his/her right and left hand or how to line up for lunch or which color is the color of the sky and having cute productions of “Little Miss Mary Sunshine” and singing the ‘Alphabet song’ or ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider?’

It would be an interesting experience reading the kindergarten curriculum from other industrialized countries competing with us.

As always,
