Software Reviews of Jumpstart Kindergarten Classic (PC & Mac)
Customer Review: Brain-dead-- your child will soon be, too
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I could give this zero stars. Aside from containing some errors, it is full of activities that will dull your child's mind. Just a couple of examples:
* The "art" section (sounds cool, eh?) contains pre-drawn pictures that you can scribble on with a pencil, or fill in regions with a paint bucket. Nothing else. This is a waste of money for anyone who already has Microsoft Paint, and does nothing to advance your child's knowledge of or appreciation for art, or ability to draw, or to do anything else except click a mouse. Of course, any software will do the last.
* The "music appreciation" section does not teach any musical skills whatsoever. The child is merely asked to click on several buttons, each of which plays a different tune. Then the "reward" is given-- a carrot. It was at this point that my three-year old turned to me and said, "Daddy, this software is really dumb". I had to agree.
The reading section does not teach reading, etc.-- I could go on, but I won't. I will not try anything else in this series. I wish I could give this negative stars.
