“The kids who need the most schooling need to be away from home as much as possible.”

These children shouldn’t go to preschool, the parents should. The parents need help learning to parent. Taking the children away just compounds the problem. If the parents never learn to be responsible adults, they can’t teach their children to be responsible adults. These parents need to be parented, shown how to best use available resources like libraries, shown how to cook at home, shown how to read and play with their children. Then, the next generation will not be helpless.
