  bakers and astronauts — Authority: 120
  This poll over at edutopia has me thinking this morning. What are public schools emphasising? Havent we already pushed first grade standards down into Kindergarten? When will public PreK classes start having "literacy block" and "math block" instead of play? What do you think?
