"What is happening to early childhood education in our country? Once upon a time, the kindergarten classroom was filled with singing, laughing, speaking, listening, doing artwork, sharing, and so many more developmentally appropriate practices.

"And now, since NCLB, the story has changed. Our little ones must be able to read, write, add, and subtract before their sixth birthday, regardless of their background, and that means lots of  practice tests and then passing the high-stakes tests. Let's not let the story end there. Let's work together with the legislators to fund and fix NCLB!"
