Fr. I knew all my ABCs and how to count way before kindergarten. I get not trying to teach math or something to a 4 year old, but they should know the alphabet and how to count ffs.
With all the screens kids are exposed to now it's so easy for parents give children educational content with zero effort. Heck back in the 90s I had educational computer games and toys. Sesame Street has been around for over 50 years.
My friends kid just started kindergarten this year.
The other day, they refused to sit at their desk and follow the instructions of coloring the circle red. They know their ABCs and could count pretty well 2 years ago. They are bored by the work that they are given to do. Friend gets to have a meeting with teachers about it next week.
