On Tiktok, a kindergarten teacher expressed her concern that the expectations put on young students are much higher than they once were.
“So I just gotta ask, as a 20-year kindergarten teacher myself, remember when we went to kindergarten that we just had to be potty trained and not eat the glue?” Kelli asked.
“Human development hasn't changed, what a five or six-year-old child is physically, mentally and developmentally able to do hasn't changed, in all these years. But for some reason ... what we expect from them when they go to school has changed,” she said. The comments largely agreed with Kelli. Many parents expressed their own fears for kids entering kindergarten, or negative experiences with kids who’ve already attended.“Agree, the kindergarten report card used to be things like skipping, walking on a balance beam, the hardest thing was counting to 100,” said
