Who's Pushing Whom: Stress and Kindergarten.
Hatch, J. Amos; Freeman, Evelyn B.
Phi Delta Kappan, v70 n2 p145-47 Oct 1988
A recent study found that kindergartens in Ohio have become skill-based, academically oriented programs that young children can fail. Children are not the only victims; many teachers, principals, and supervisors are experiencing stress resulting from the increasing emphasis on academics in kindergarten programs. Parental and societal aspirations may be at fault. Includes nine references. (MLH)
