I disagree with you.
Someone working at McD's is not going to work there to pay for tuition and most couples have more than one child.
Please forgive me, but if "qualified" teachers are the answer, then why are so many kids failing and why are so many kids not able to read by 3rd grade?
I think you have to look at this as openly as possible. Parents know what is best for their kids, not teachers or anyone else.
Are you a qualified teacher? Just wondering.
If a kid doesn't know how to read before they get to school, they're already way behind. As Gatto says, it takes about 30 hours to teach someone to read. Might as well spend that 30 hours when they're 3, 4, or 5 years old than have the schools waste 3000 hours on it.
