[blparent] wow kindergarten has changed!

[trishs]

I wouldn't wait til they're 5, to teach or to discipline.  These 
are life long learning processes, and they need to start in the 
home.
Personally, I prefer half days for the transition to school 
experience, plus all the learning they really do do.  They're 
going to be in school for more than 12 years, they'll get there.
