College is really important in Elwood, NY

For many years the Harley Avenue Primary School has had a show put on by kindergarteners. This year the show has been cancelled by the principal. Why? "The reason we are eliminating the kindergarten show is simple," said a letter sent to parents, signed by Principal Ellen Best-Laimit and four kindergarten teachers. "We are responsible for preparing children for college and career with valuable lifelong skills and know that we can best do that by having them become strong readers, writers, coworkers and problem solvers.” 

How old are the kids? When will they be ready for college and a career? The principal and her cohort should find a new career.
