On the positive side, they also found that time spent in high-quality day care centers was correlated with higher vocabulary scores through elementary school.

So they grow up to be ARTICULATE, disruptive brats. :)

Barak Obama comes to mind.

He missed traditional day care so he is a less boisterous, articulate disruptive.

Just shows t' go ya' that the same results will occur outside of day care if the same socialist values exist in a 'home' setting.

LOL!!! Perhaps a reason why these kids are disruptive is because they're bored. I've got a five year old that will enter kindergarten in August. He can write his name, and was reading the letters to me from the TV screen last night.

It was pretty funny, because he got mad at me when the screen changed (there was a delay in the On-Demand, and Nathan was reading the letters while waiting for the next batch of movies to display).

I noticed TBN was showing the story of Joseph, and I was pretty impressed with the multitude and depth of the questions he was asking.

I can see disruptions from the "one size fits all" public school mentality. You place a kid like my Nate, who's basically lived with 4 adults his entire life (his older siblings are now 18 and 20), in a class with less advanced children, and he's going to get bored.

We'll be looking for more challenging learning environments for him. However, our school district has a good handle on it.

Oddly, most of these articulate disruptive brats still only use 4-letter words to express themselves.

There were disruptive brats prior to the advent of daycare. Do people just post these articles so they and others can bloviate about bad parenting and bratty kids?
