Frustrated

Just curious if I am the only person in this world, that is totally frustrated by how fast it's moving??? I remember when I was in kindergarten and it was such a FUN place to be...everyday seemed like a wonderous adventure. There seemed to be sooo much to learn and explore and learning wasn't a chore...it was actually fun! THEN...Now, there is such a push for children to know EVERYTHING as soon as they leave the womb! No wonder they grow up SOOO fast...My 5 year old Jada, started kindergarten this year and she hates it! Kindergarten is noooo longer a fun place to go and learn, it is a place where a child has to learn everything from, knowing how to read to learning how to do math! What happened to the days when kindergarten was all about learning basic things, like, your colors, staying inbetween the lines, story time, painting, playing, and just making friends through socialization???? Jada has homework EVERY night! It takes at least 2 hours to finish it, because she gets sooo frustrated and starts crying...I am sitting right beside her, joining her! It is a total nightmare! If this is just the beginning of the school year, I can only IMAGINE how much worse it will become later on this year...I dread it! Does anyone have any ideas on how to cope with this and make learning fun anymore???? Any suggestions would be appreciated...~~Lani~~
