K is the new 1st grade - we all know it's a problem. Is anything actually changing?

There is a consensus these days that preschool, kindergarten and first grade have become too academic, at the expense of developing motor and social skills, for example. You also read often about how students have less recess and fewer specials these days. It seems like the pendulum is swinging back a bit with respect to recess, and many elementary schools are adopting no-hw policies, but is anything else actually changing on that front, either in state based standards or within school districts?
