What brought you to kindergarten? What's the experience like compared to your other grades?
The boring real answer is that I was brought to kindergarten because that was the job the school board assigned to me.
Kindergarten is so very different from all other grades. Firstly, the two year age span in the same class makes the spread of levels even more extreme than it is in a grade class. I literally have kids this year in the same class who can't hold a pencil and those who are reading more or less fluently.
And the spread in social abilities is even worse. Like, three year olds who are more or less still toddlers and kids who are almost six. It's wild.
