I am a teacher and I believe it should be required. What kids learn in preschool is what they used to learn in Kindergarten. Whose fault is that? Society these days keeps pushing the standards higher for our children. I understand that there are parents who are able to teach their child what they neesd to enter Kindergarten ready to learn. But, there are MANY families that cannot afford to stay home with their children or be able to pay for preschool. These are the children who are at risk to be behind as they enter Kindergarten and in future years. If we want to raise the standards for our children, let's make sure they all start at the same place.
