When I took early childhood education courses back in college, we had one instructor in particular with a very old-school approach. She basically taught poetry and nursery rhymes, which clearly felt redundant. As someone that worked with kids for many years, I can assure you that none of the children in my care were even remotely interested in nursery rhymes, or poetry of any kind. All the kids wanted to do was run around and play paw patrol. Not sure who hired that instructor but she looked like one of those tree hugging hippies from the so-called “summer of love” era. Hey lady! Do preschool children even pay attention to lame poetry or nursery rhymes these days? The sixties are over and you lost, so get with the program.
