Why are such personal questions on a kindergarten form??
July 7, 2015
A Connecticut mom was left appalled and angry when a school district’s kindergarten application asked whether her child was delivered by C-section or not. The district was asking extremely intrusive questions, ostensibly to detect any potential health or emotional problems in enrolling youngsters. Read about the survey here.
School staff are increasingly being asked to act as pseudo-psychologists and -psychiatrists, even thought they are not trained as such. Meanwhile less and less academic information is being taught.
Remember you can refrain from answering questions in school forms (or other forms, for that matter) that you find too intrusive.
