California is slowly moving that direction by expanding out DK. Our twins got to attend last year because of the new cutoff. And our local elementary school added a 2nd DK class this year due to the continued expansion (before they only had 1).

There definitely does seem to be a learning curve involved here. They try to teach DK to K standards because there are no other standards. Which is just unrealistic, especially as you start accepting nearly newly 4 year olds.

What is DK? Please spell out your acronyms, especially if you are using them in a thread for the first time.

Developmental Kindergarten. Google isn't obsolete yet.

Doesn't matter, it's just good writing to spell out acronyms initially. At the very least, it also helps everyone else reading this to not waste their collective minutes googling uncommon acronyms when the commenter could simply spend an extra few seconds spelling them out initially.

DK is supposed to be TK.

Transitional kindergarten. Basically staying a year early around 4.
