Re: $500 Million Obama Administration Program Will Help Kids 'Still' in Kindergarten

[Guest guest]

5 yr old children should not have to sit still for heavens sakes. Maybe for an hour in church at the most with mom right there. I guess a child who isn't very bright, has no curiosity no energy poor health might like to sit still. That's what they want, I guess. Children with very little energy or health.
