How stupid are people? Don't they understand that their children are being taken from them? Obviously they don't but later they'll look back and wonder how it all happened. No child should be in other than parental care before the age of six. I'd rather pay for the momma or poppa to stay at home than fund the "educational" system that will destroy our country if they continue to get their grubby hands on the children.
Boy are we are the same page!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is that bright, affluent parents are already reading to their children and the kids already know their alphabet and how to count. Low SES parents are not reading and not teaching them skills they'll need. When first grade comes around the poor kids learn on day one that they're already hopelessly behind.
You are so right! I have worked in the preschool environment for years, as a teacher and as a trainer/monitor of preschools. Seeing the conditions these centers were in, the lack of training of the teachers, etc. was appalling. Even if you have a teacher who truly cares for the children, she has more than one charge to tend to. So the childs needs are not immediately met. Also, you don't have a parent's guidance, so discpipline for the child is not up to par. Of course, you have a few cases where the child is better off with the center than with their own parents, but that is a low percentage. After seeing all of these things and how little time the parents were able to spend with their own special treasures that God blessed them with, I determined I would be a stay at home mom. I have loved every minute of it!
