Update on K question

just wanted to let you all know that Sophia's teacher responded to my question about there being 54 letters in the alphabet. She had commented that Sophia could recognize 53/54 letter. That totally stumped me. In her response she stated she was counting all lower and uppercase (I got that far), but in addition she was counting the little a and t with the curly tails??? kinda the way it looks typed not the straight line standard a and t. is that not the strangest thing you've ever heard. since when are we teaching kids to recognize modern ways to write letters. Weren't you always graded on the ability to write the proper form of the letters?
Anyway I just wanted to let you know for those that answered my post.
