Pre-K: Academics or social skills
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A few of my neighbors have young children and the other day we talked about the purpose of pre-K.
One neighbor wanted her son to learn some basic literacy skills and simple math.
The other wanted some academics, but said more focus should be on her daughter’s social and physical skills.
I said the ideal program would provide both. (Check out Georgia’s pre-K standards here.)
What do you think should be taught in pre-K?
