So was this guy successful in eliminating nap time?

Disclaimer: I'm not a parent or teacher. I also did not attend full-day pre-K or kindergarten; the school only offered a half-day program.

I'd think 4-year-olds would benefit from nap time. You can't expect a 4-year-old to sit at a desk for six straight hours doing drills. Nap time and recess break up the day. Nap time gives the kids a chance to relax and snooze and not have to process input for a few minutes. If there isn't an official nap time in a full-day program, there's probably going to be an unofficial nap time as kids doze off in mid-lesson.
