I've provided a link to the skills a kindergartener is expected to know in Texas. The most interesting one to me: 'counting from 20 to 0 backwards.' It touched my indexing heart when they included 0.

My now-6-year-old learned to count backwards before he could count forward. Rockets!

I've definitely been happy with some of the concepts that are taught early (like 0) and not quite so happy with some others. But, I've mostly went into this with the expectation that I'll probably be solidifying concepts more than his teachers will. This is primarily due to my time with him being 1-on-1 and sometimes because I know him better and can speak his language easier.
