Kindergarten was supposed to be voluntary, half-day preparation for first grade. Now its mandatory in many states and is full day. As if 5yo need to be in school for a full day. Then comes universal pre-K for 4yo, and then 3yo. None of these programs will close academic gaps that result from IQ and culture. Married 2-parent families that think their 3yo should be at home won't benefit from the program but will pay taxes for it.
I’m so old-fashioned I thought teaching my children to do these things was my responsibility as a parent.
The leftists want to be able to indoctrinate children at increasingly younger ages.
“Free public school starting at age four, or even three, is growing in many American cities.”
Big mistake.
More time to indoctrinate the little ones and create good little communists.
