I agree with you. I teach Pre-K in Georgia, the first state to offer it universally in the school system. I teach the same things a Kindergarten teacher taught 5 years ago. Even if you disagree with the upward trend in education, of preparing students earlier, the reality is that it is here and we must deal with it. If a child is taught well at home, fine, but in regards to the rest: if they enter Kindergarten without the basics of knowing the alphabet and sounds, they are already behind, at least at my school, that is.
