I have posted on every topic that concerns adding 6U at state. I am really against it because as a teacher and researcher, I know that what we want for our kids is not always right. I also know about kids developmental stages, growth patterns and mental health. Kids need time to develop at their own pace-not their parents pace. Many people who are pushing to add 6U are only doing so because they have a son or daughter who is that age. They are not looking at the child's mental and physical development age. They are thinking of winning NOW instead of in the long run. On the topic titled "WOW...." I am going to list two articles and one book that I think EVERYONE needs to read. And for those of you who "hate reading" I will even summarize the articles.
