In the end, it boils down to parental sloth and stupidity. Why would a parent give up his 3-year-old to an unknown government hack purely for the purpose of babysitting? From 3 to 6 are precious years, a time for the parents to establish themselves as the children’s first and most important teachers. The potential influence in this period is massive, and it’s irresponsible to give it away to some shiftless bonehead just following orders from those who’s intent is evil.
Ultimately, it will be parents who choose to abandon their children; the children, and the future, will suffer for it.
“In the end, it boils down to parental sloth and stupidity.”
Um, you are aware that some people are poor, aren’t you?
Some people do not earn enough either to pay for a better school or to home school.
And sometimes—just sometimes—it’s not because they are bad people.
