Over 70% of Utah schools implemented full-day Kindergarten last year. The academic results have been very promising but some say that it's taking a toll on the kids. Dave and Maura discuss their own opinions and take calls to hear what Utah's parents are saying. Christine Elegante, K-3 Literacy Specialist, Utah State Board of Education, also joins the show to explain how students reading proficiency has improved due to full-day Kindergarten and how the teachers have been adapting their curriculum to help solve some of the problems. Dave and Maura take listener calls.
