Maybe because the first 3 or 4 years are nurturing years....not preparation for SATs.
Yes, how do they expect the kids to stay awake past 11 or so? Nap time. These kids would do much better learning from mother.
Exactly. Children at this age need family, nurturing and parental modeling. They simply are not wired at that tender age to be formally educated. Their socialized play IS their appropriate learning.
How much do I now get from the feds in terms of research grants or did I just give this apparent secret away gratis?
Here is the routine. Squirt the kid out, stay at home nurturing it for about 6 weeks, then to daycare for 3 to 4 years while working. Now it is time for pre-K while enhancing the career some more. Remember meals provided for the little ones too. Now off to Kindergarten thru 12 grade with school providing breakfast so junior only has to stumble to schoolbus in time. Parents check in from time to time when they have nothing else to do. Wow, now it is off to the state college with all kinds of amenities of course a big pile of debt to go with it. Kid tells the ones who hatched him thanks for everything, daycare, pre k, Kindergarten, school, and all material goods.
