High quality preschool should be done by the parents. Parents are the people who care and love the child most. I think of preschool as a high pressure atmosphere for those parents who want to produce a little genius, or for those parents who work, it is a cheap form of babysitting. After all, even low income families seem to afford several TV's and video junk for their children. By taking away the parent responsibility of rearing their own children, we are creating an atmosphere of "low family self-esteem". In short, I would never trust my young child to the state, especially in these times when our USA is lagging behind in education. Character Counts, and I think this should be taught at home. School, for many students, is the place where misbehavior flourishes. The earlier this happens, the more indelible the misbehavior becomes. Yes, there are some parents who we wish weren't parents, but that is a different story.
