'The curriculum is insane for elementary school kiddos. They have absolutely lost their childhood,' says a longtime kindergarten teacher.

Ms. Kelli , of the TikTok account @the_wondermint, reflects on how different it is for students at even an introductory level.

Instead of placing more pressure, Kelli suggests a gentler, simpler approach.

School is meant to help set up students for success, but if it robs them of their precious, formative and oh-so temporary childhood, then is it really worth it? She does, however, advocate trying to instill a love of reading,” if you can count that as homework.
