In the Philippines, they start reading at 3. By 4 they know 4-5 letter words and have started arithmetic. And this isn’t some tiger mom bullshit. These kids are having a blast! They love competing and helping one another. One 6-yo got on stage at a graduation thing and gave a talk. I seriously doubt many full-grown Americans would be as smooth. Hopefully we’ll get the school reopened back there.

I grew up in a very poor area of a very blue state, and that sounds like what we did in pre-k and kindergarten.

For real. Not all kids develop at the same time or in the same way. But that general description is not out of the ordinary, at all.

I grew up in a red state and it sounds like what we did too. Also sounds like my daughter's pre-k and kindergarten.
