First of all I agree that many of the things being fostered in pre-school are things/activities children used to get in Kindergarten. I also agree that too many parents have yielded too much responsibility for their children to the schools. Parents are so busy pushing little Susie to excel that they’ve forgotten that she is a child.

Shame on a parent who fails to socialize their own child. How did kids learn to “sit in a circle” before the days of pre-school? As I recall parents used to do what is now done in pre-shool. Maybe it is time for parents to understand that they have to spend time with their kids and not palm them off on TV, video games and pre-schools.
