Thorne Wallington, Elizabeth; Johnson, Adrienne – Educational Considerations, 2022

Miller, Mischel – Educational Considerations, 2020
The national education system, similar to the Kansas education system, has seen little change since the 1800s(Throckmorton, 1967). In fact, over 50 years later, there have been few changes. Children come to school around the age of five to enter kindergarten and then move through the current system by age and grade level. These children sit in…
