thank God my preschool was my Grandmother... our kids Preschool was my Mother.Sounds like Obama just wants access for indoctrination.
Unless the home situation is horrible, most children this age benefit more from being at home with a parent.
Ah. Totalitarians everywhere would be proud.
And guess who is going to pay for universal pre-school. It should be up to the parents if they want the child to go to pre-school and they should pay for it themselves.
I totally agree...pre—school isn’t for every child...and ‘universal pre-school’ is just more ‘Obama Knows Best.’ FWIW, I sent all of my kids to a wonderful, church afiliated pre-school. They all loved it (we are blessed in my area w/excellent Christian/Catholic and public schools.)
My youngest is 11, but I can still remember the ‘criers’ in each class who really weren’t ready to go to any sort of ‘away from mom’ setting...
The goals here are to:
1. Get Socialism/Marxism instilled as early as 3 years old
2. Teach about sex at 6
3. Global Warming at 4
4. Oppression by heterosexual white Christian males, not lack of intelligence, concentration or impulsive actions are the cause of poverty
5. Handouts, not opportunity, should be the reason for govenment
thank God my preschool was my Grandmother... our kids Preschool was my Mother.This idea has NOTHING to do with what’s good for children and EVERYTHING to do with what’s good for Marxists who aren’t reproducing by natural means.
This is about the teachers’ unions and their employment as well as working mothers groups. They fought and fought for mandatory, f/t kindergarten (and got it) — now they move on to the preschool level. It’s about publicly funded child-care and not a lot more.
They are all doing their best as quick as possible to destroy what is left of any live modeling and examples of what real family looks like. They want the kids away from it, out of it’s presence. The kids will never be able to do it (a real family) if they do not see it modeled. If “family” is foreign to them, something they have never seen modeled they will never even desire it or be able to duplicate it.
When the Obama kids were little, did Michelle send them to preschool or was she home with them? Anyone know?
Universal preschool now, government creche later.
Not to mention that the Feds shouldn't be sticking their noses into this area to begin with.
Another reason to homeschool, and another reason to vote against Obama.
Ugh. And of course, after a few years such programs will become mandatory... like kindergarten is.
Kids need to be kids with imaginations and unstructured time outside, fostering creativity in their young minds.
They don’t need to be in an institution. They don’t need to be worried about where to stand on a soccer field.
They need to be outside running around, digging in the dirt, swinging from branches, and throwing rocks in a creek.
This is another reason to stay away from the govco education institutions.
Children need their mommies, not daycare.
I'm a father who helped homeschool five children.
Formal schooling should not start at a minimum until eight years of age. Any educational concepts learned before then are easily learned at a later date when their brains are more developed
Bottom line is early education burns your child out as their brains are not ready for it.
pre-school should be about getting out a few hours during the week to play with other kids and get a positive experience.
Turning it into an all day, every day affair is bad for the kids and certainly shouldn’t be funded by the government.
