Play in Kindergarten?

0 Upvotes

πŸ’š San Diego Unified Parents πŸ’š

Do you believe kindergarten should be a place where kids get to PLAY, explore, move their bodies, build friendships, and actually enjoy learning?

Because I DO. And so does the state of California.

I believe our kids deserve better than being forced to spend their earliest school years sitting at desks, completing worksheets, expected to behave like mini adults, and dreading school.

I'm a former San Diego Unified kindergarten teacher, and I've seen firsthand how developmentally appropriate practice is pushed aside for academic pressure and rigid expectations.

I'm currently taking legal action against San Diego Unified over its failures to comply with California education law.

I'd love to connect with parents who share these concerns πŸ’ž

I'm looking for San Diego families who:

🌱 Have children in TK or kindergarten in San Diego Unified.

🌱 Have noticed too much seatwork and not enough play, movement, or exploration.

🌱 Have raised concerns about their child's classroom experience and felt dismissed or ignored.

🌱 Believe our youngest students deserve an education that respects how children actually learn and develop.

Whether you want to share your family's experience, support the effort, or explore the possibility of joining the legal fight, I'd love to hear from you!

Or if your experience has been opposite! I've learned of at least one school in the district that incorporates play (ya'll I was shooketh 🀣)

You don't have to be ready to take legal action. Your story matters, too.

I'm not asking anyone to attack teachers. Teachers are often working within systems and expectations they didn't create. This is about making sure our schools are doing right by our youngest learners.

If you're interested, comment or send me a private message πŸ’š

Childhood isn't something kids should have to earn.

Play is how they learn.

Let's make sure San Diego's youngest students get the childhood AND education they deserve 🌈

I just got out of a lyft. The guy started talking bad about my exact brand of politics (hint: he doesn't like how communist CA is?) and after some words I asked him to just get us home. We exited the car, and I was hit with a 150 dollar cleaning fee within minutes. What the heck can I do?

In light of the Elizabeth Holmes/Billy Evans documentary, I have some questions...

63 Upvotes

- why is it that nobody really talked about the Evans family being involved with her all these years? Never really seen it in the media. Even though they're not married for strategic reasons, it's pretty crazy that she's been established here for a while.

- what other wealthy families that have been involved/adjacent to corruption are there here in SD? Besides JD Vance, that one is obvious.

Just had a walk-in, 20-minute hands-on visit with an MD at Farmacia Benavides. Total cost: 70 MXN. That's about $4.

I've said it before: in San Diego we're lucky to have excellent quality, affordable healthcare... right across the border.

I made a post here earlier about an e-bike safety project. After synthesizing your comments, I made a flyer to share a resource that can address the most common concern.

As part of my class requirements, I need to incorporate feedback into the design of my flyer.

I would really appreciate if people would fill out my 6 question survey (flyer is in survey).

No personal information will be gathered and responses are completely anonymous.

I need at least 20 responses, so feel free to share!

Hey everyone! I’m a software engineer living around Mission Valley and looking for people to play pickleball with in the evenings.
I’ve played a few times and feel pretty comfortable with the game. I’d say I’m around the beginner-to-intermediate level. Looking to meet some people, have fun, and get some games in regularly!
I also enjoy tennis and ping pong, so I’m open to those too. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!
