My perfectly-intelligent-but-definitely-not-exceptional PFB DD started nursery about 8 months ago; she goes 2 days a week. She'll start school until Aug 2016.
DD likes to try and draw latters, which nursery has encouraged. IMO she is nowhere near ready (she can barely draw a face / house/ triangle/ whatever). She has learned to draw shapes which to her represent letters - eg a lollipop for "e", 3 dots for a "w", etc. Nursery has a jotter for her to copy letters out into, with her writing the same letter again and again down the page, just like my 1970's primary school did. She is 3 years old.
I've told nursery that I think she's way too young to be doing this at all, and am really unhappy that she has learned to do things wrongly. Nursery assure me they are experts at early years education and should leave them to it.
