by Hurley

Dec 7, 2014

How do others deal with parents who are upset with you when their children lose a coat or sweater? After 7 years of teaching, I have never had so many complaints and lost items.

The survey is actually for first-grade teachers regarding their observations of their current first-grade students' academic achievement and social skills in regards to those who attended kindergarten and those who did not. I am hoping that some California first-grade teachers in this forum would be able to complete the survey. Currently, kindergarten is not mandatory in 36 states, so the goal of my survey is to further investigate whether a kindergarten education has an impact on first-grade students' academic skills and social ability. I would definitely love to come back and post my results! Thanks!
