Sadly, they don't though. The vast majority want the government to "spoon feed" their children an education. What's really taking place though is that there is more indoctrination than education going on.
SO true. A woman I knew back in CA had 2 little ones the same age as my own. We were talking about Reiner (meathead's) Universal Preschool Initiative. She thought it was a great idea - more free child care, and all day! Kindergarten doesn't come fast enough for some parents, sadly.
