I have a just turned 5 year old daughter. We chose to homeschool instead of sending her to public school. When she turned 4 over a year ago, she was already able to read and write her name in print and cursive. Common Core is a poor educational curriculum. I am glad that we have the opportunity to choose homeschooling as an option. I can guarantee that most parents (like the ones that I work with) have no idea what is going on. I try to explain it, but they get hung up on the socialization issue. They say my daughter won't get the proper socialization. She is actually more skilled in communications than most kids her age. She takes a dance class, she was on the swim team and she takes artistic roller skating lessons. I would say she does just fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907677492250052991.post-75484477107755190632013-09-15T16:26:37.262-05:002013-09-15T16:26:37.262-05:00the more I learn of common core, the less I am imp...the more I learn of common core, the less I am impressed with any of it.
