All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarden:1. Share everything.2. Play fair.3. Don’t hit people.4. Put thngs back where you found them.5. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS.6. Don’t take things that aren’t yours.7. Say you’re SORRY when you HURT somebody.8. Wash your hands before you eat.9. Flush.10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.11. Live a balanced life – learn some and drink some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.12. Take a nap every afternoon.13. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.14. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.15. Goldfish and hamster and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup – they all die. So do we.16. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned – the biggest word of all – LOOK.” ― Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
Sad but true commentary on the School System. It’s hard when your son complains about the poor quality of the curriculum and bad teaching practices, and your first inclination is to agree with him.
Funny how a child (who by definition has little life experience) is paid more attention when he/she complains about the school curriculum and bad teaching practices. We put children on pedestals in this country.
