    It’s upsetting how it has become.

    Our child is ready to start kindergarten. Do you know what they want as supplies?

    No crayons, no pencils, no notebooks. No playdough, no shaving cream. Not even paper towels to clean up the inevitable mess.

    Headphones. That’s it. A pair of corded headphones with the child’s name on it. WTF???

    Their day was to be divided into hourly slots of apps. Followed by “recess” which was watching PBS Kids in the auditorium. I can’t even… What are they doing?

    We are going to try to homeschool because I can’t imagine I can do worse than that.

      That isnt the norm, thats insanity. My kid comes home everyday with arts and crafts. I think they might be responsible for a notable decline in tree cover at tis point.
