All Kindergartners need to know

This article was very interesting, when reading I notice that I kept relating the changes to Ohio. Ohio has very high standards. I feel that Ohio standards are going to be looked at among all. I thought at first I was reading Ohio’s new changes yet I was not. A lot of what the state mandated in Illinois is mandated in Ohio.
I think its great idea that they are expecting the children to know more. Honesty I sometimes think that the states are pushing children to fair and they want them to grow up too fast. Not all children learn as fast and that will change how much a teacher can get done. I like the idea of being able to have them writing letters they should, but the state needs to know that some children can not go as quickly as others on some concepts.
I really like the specific goals for the children it is just going to take longer for some children then others. Children need tons of examples and teachers should always be learning so see how they can challenge their students or adapted for other students.
