... starting with learning the alphabet at an early age ...

The irony is that "alphabet" is, in essence, Greek. "Alpha Beta" is entirely analogous to our usage of "ABCs". Don't know the point here, except that there is no end to learning.

I don’t think there’s much benefit in knowing the alphabet...except as a communication tool. What REALLY counts is are the sounds (phonics), and learning them, which is what the Left spends all of their time trying to prevent or at least delay, in American kids (and quite successfully, as in our public schools).
