A recent Albuquerque Journal story discusses a study by the national Foundation for Child Development in which full-day pre-kindergarten is recommended for all 3 and 4 year olds. New Mexico’s new and controversial half-day pre-K program was deemed “inadequate” by the Foundation.
I’m not sure if this foundation is funded by the teacher unions or not, but I can’t think of a more effective way to create jobs for public school teachers than allowing the state to get its hands on your kids even earlier. Of course, other studies have found that starting kids even earlier in school to be costly and ineffective boondoggles.
Clearly, the so-called experts are moving quickly towards mandatory in-the-womb schooling at some point. This will clearly create a conundrum for the National Education Association which is adamantly pro-choice.
public schools is a mis-nomer they are socialist indoctrination centers.
