Goodness, teachers have been saying this for years.

It's such a shame that the tories closed down Sure Start.

The problem of children not being ready for school is increasing.

Quote:
On average, just 50 per cent of youngsters were equipped for reception in September.
One in four teachers said more than half didn't know how to listen or respond to simple instructions and struggled to play with others.
A third cited similarly high numbers having difficulties holding a pencil.
Other children lacked basic number and language skills, couldn't eat independently and were not toilet trained.
