Expert on CBC Now saying a third of kids showing up for kindergarten are already “behind” and hold up the rest. It’s not clear what they’re supposed to already know about school before school actually starts. Maybe expectations are the problem? I’m not convinced about full day K one way or the other but the argument shouldn’t be you’re not smart enough before you even start. #CosoCanuck #bigquestions
@prairiecelt Is this a push for pre-schools?

@BillieBun No- for full-day kindergarten. I know most kids have gained social skills via daycare and nursery school, but it still feels wrong to have pre-requisites for kindergarten - it's like saying you need to know the grade 12 stuff before you start the year.
@prairiecelt Yeah, it does seem wrong.
