What are your thoughts on homework starting in kindergarten? I have our oldest waitlisted for a charter school (still unsure if she'll even get in), but I understand from a friend who put his kid in the same school a few years back that's what they did and he ended up pulling her out after a year (apparently it didn't work out very well).
I'm of the position that kids should be allowed to be kids when they're that young and as long as they're learning and having fun that's what's important. However, I'd be interested to hear what the profession thinks...
