This is about eroding the plenary rights of parents.
Homeschool kindergarten, you bet.
This is a VERY stupid mandate; not to mention useless for many of those kids!
Worse.
It will give more money to the districts throughg millages.
All those unemployed “sociology” graduates get paid.
Ironically, they will be hired to teach STEM classes...to kindergarteners.
TOO EARLY!!!
It’s about getting children into the hands of sex criminals.
When I was in kindergarten, it lasted only until noon and involved mostly socialization skills and culture. From what I understand, today it lasts as long as a regular school day and the instruction includes reading, writing and math. Not sure if all-day kindergarten is a good idea.
Exactly.
There’s a terrific little book written by some educators called *Better Late than Early*. It’s by Drs Moore and Moore, a husband wife team.
They advocate for formal education to start at some time between the ages of 8-10, saying that’s when kids are physically ready for formal schooling. And they can learn in one year what they’ve been cooped up in school for 4-7 years learning. IOW, there’s no advantage at all to starting kids in kindergarten.
...because the less time they spend learning from their parents (unless they are leftists) the better.
“Parents who believe their children aren't ready for kindergarten would be able to opt out.”
Home schooling in Michigan...
Michigan parents have the right to home school their children. The law requires a parent or legal guardian of a child from the age of six to sixteen to send his or her child to school during the entire school year, except under certain limited circumstance's. Michigan parents may choose to home school under the home school statute or as a nonpublic school or both.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I am a hardcore later is better person……..learned the hard way years ago.

Plank #10 of the Communist Manifesto: Free Education for All Children in Public Schools...
https://www.conservativeusa.net/10planksofcommunism.htm
My youngest was a late bloomer.
If she had been in public school she would have been labeled dyslexic and put into resource rooms.
When we moved toa very small town, she went to the local high school and graduated fifth in her class with an average in the mid nineties. She’s super smart in math.
Kindergarten is now where toddlers get to learn how to manipulate their genitals and decide if they want to be Fred or Wilma before they grow up.
Granted, GOOD private school kindergartens are beneficial for most; however, those who would send their their progeny to such schools WILL do that sans a mandate.
For the rest? It's a free babysitting arrangement for everyone else.
Sounds like a great young lady .
….
Again. From the article
“Parents who believe their children aren’t ready for kindergarten would be able to opt out.”
‘That’s none of the state’s business.”
And IF you state that, then the school either puts such children in the “slow” class for first grade, or makes then loose a full year, before they can go to first grade!
