"A 5-year-old girl discovered a cruel reality of kindergarten: No naps. "It was a shock," her mom, Gimeka Gentry, tells TODAY.com. Gentry recorded her daughter McKenzie's rude awakening after picking her up from her first day of kindergarten in South Carolina earlier this month. In a TikTok video recorded in the car and posted by Gentry's sister Appolonia Maxton, the little girl is appalled by her rigorous schedule."
""I didn't take a nap at kindergarten," McKenzie told Gentry in the video, which has more than one million views. McKenzie said she double checked with her new teacher and was informed about the no-nap policy. "We didn't take a nap - I was so tired, I was trying to go to sleep in PE," McKenzie said in the video, adding, "I couldn't take a nap anywhere." McKenzie asked a logical question: "Why did you sign me up for kindergarten?""
A five-year-old girl returned from her first day of kindergarten upset because the school did not provide naps. Her mother recorded the child's reaction in the car and the video, posted by the mother's sister, exceeded one million views on TikTok. The child reported confirming the no-nap policy with her teacher and described trying to sleep during PE. The child later fell asleep while eating French fries during an after-school McDonald's visit. Viewers, including classroom teachers and students, responded with sympathy. Children ages 3 to 5 generally need 10 to 13 hours of sleep, including naps.
