"Prepares them for kindergarten." Idiots. That's what kindergarten is for -- to prepare them for first grade. The socialists own studies, done 50 years ago, prove that pre-school and kindergarten are useless for the purpose of preparing children for school. They proved conclusivly that by the second grade there was no difference whatsoever in student learning between a child who attended kindergarten and a child who did not.
Six-year olds learn so quickly that kindergarten is useless for preparing a child for school.
The only purpose of any kind of government school before first grade that I can see, is for indoctrination purposes. They sell it to parents as child care.

Yep. Indoctrination and child care.
And it allows the mothers to keep working for the almighty buck, leaving their kids in the hands of strangers.
It makes for a more pliable voting block 15 years down the road.

Could you please give me a reference to that study?
I'm fighting a principal about it.

Indeed, their idea of pre-kindergarten is purely for indoctrination purposes. Anything the public school systems advocate is going to be geared to numbing the minds and removing the child from parental influence. A robust NO to all their mental abuse tactics.
