What happens when college and career readiness starts in kindergarten?

CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

In effing Kindergarten?!

Pardon a religious outburst (probably advisable after my earthy opening)...

...but thank God Almighty that I was born in 1945 and raised in the 1950s...

...when a kid was allowed to be a kid.

Hell (oops, there I go again), back in the day, they didn't even have Kindergarten, or if they did, they sure didn't require it. Yet, somehow, even without a nun laying a ruler across my knuckles and without anyone taking my interest and dissecting it to open my mind to career fields, I manage to go on to college and become a "productive" citizen.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.
