Three year olds along with 6 and 9 year olds are very important landmark educational models for testing and evaluation. These critical years can be codified and reviewed in different settings despite class, incomes, living conditions and the PARENTS that have the 3 year olds in question. Let me be clear in what I am proposing; 3, 6, 9 year olds to me are ALL the same no matter where they are born. No matter the parents, the money or the comforts. 3, 6 and 9 year old Just ARE.
Today teaching is a new paradigm of getting DONE. If You ARE a teacher today GOD bless YOU! We applaud you for ALL THAT YOU DO. One of the Noble Professions teaching nursing and firefighting are noble to me. Policing? Sorry BUT I am a Black Dominican so forgive ME. Anyway let me deal with the teaching of 3 year olds in this new age. Simple word, number and color repetition should work. Math will be done with real life situations and a reward system used to teach value. By 3 they know MONEY. Ok. By 6 we need lessons in self-defense and visits to cultural places to start regularly. By 6 we take to parks and encourage autodidactism. By 9 we have to read Jawanza Kunjufu’s Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys and THEN call me in the morning for two aspirin pills! Enough SAID. Read his works Kunjufu’s efforts should be applauded and MORE parents regardless of race gender or creed need to READ THESE books. By doing so we can continue the conversation. Thank you for your time.
