If Kindergarten failed to educate, and pre-Kindergarten failed to solve the problem, the Early Learning will also fail. The problem lies in the differing IQs of ethnic groups. IQ is a measure of learning ability, more schooling won’t ever change that.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that there are also studies that preschool puts undue pressures on children that actually inhibit their growth. The very young ages are for learning by playing, not in a rigid environment like school. Just let them be kids!

Texas hired a think tank several years ago to study education problems and suggest better ways to do things. I am on their mailing list and got involved with the person who was doing these studies. As a result, I was able to see data that was published on it.

Kindergarten is to teach the kids their ABCs, counting, etc. to get them ready for first grade. Pre-kindergarten simply teaches them this stuff earlier. As a result, they start ahead of those who aren’t taught this but by the end of kindergarten ALL are on the same level. Pre-kindergarten classes does NOTHING to advance them.

The only reason the government is willing to spend money on such classes is due to indoctrination. A child’s values are set by the time they are 5. These values are set by their parents, church, etc. (The Catholic Church has stated that if you let them have your child from birth to age 5 the child will be Catholic all its life.)

As a result, any values that deal with the government are set before the government gets their hands on them. If the parents teach the small child not to trust the government, they won’t. If the parents teach them that Welfare is the best thing ever, they will believe it.

The government simply wants to use these pre-kindergarten programs to add their own ideas of values to the child while they are still learning them.

Is this affiliated with the teach the preteens how to please the gays movement? Could you imagine George Washington insisting teach both way sex to the children before puberty?

TA, I’m trying to understand your point. Are you trying to say the 10 year old couldn’t read, but now can? Are you trying to imply that homeschooling isn’t as ‘good’ as public school?
You need to be very careful what you say on certain topics, as there are always posers who look for any
excuse to be apologists for the public school system and its would-be brainwash/indoctrination approach.
What you need to know about homeschooling is the FACT that it tends to turn out the cream of the crop in America. College/university recruiters look for homeschooled kids FIRST.
Talk to non-union teachers. They will tell you that kids are better off being homeschooled or in private schools or even church schools. Public ‘education’ is a monumental fraud and failure. It needs to be put out of our misery. If Perry supports public schools, then you know most of what you need to know about him.

With Texas ranking low in education and high school looks like Rick Perry wants it to stay in low ranking. I know of a young 10 year old lad home schooled and was not able to read because it was apparently more important for Jim to be making decisions on his own rather than the parents. There is not a standard achievement for home schools in Texas. I hope Perry is very happy with his state’s standings in education

There is very good evidence that pre-school educational programs do NOTHING to improve overall education. At most it improves the students coming into kindergarten but by the end of the year the rest have caught up. Therefore it is a basic waste of time.

Actually many kids are past it. My granddaughter (now 2) can count, knows her A,B,Cs and can do simple math already. By the time she is 5, she will probably be reading and writing as well considering that she loves books now. Most kids could do this if the parents spend any time with them.

What are the names of the 14 states that haven’t yet surrendered to Uncle Scam and Bummer’s latest Trojan Horse? For parents, it might not be a bad idea to consider moving to one of those 14 states.
I’m betting that New York, California, Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon and Illinois aren’t on that list.
By the way, for those mental giants who think we have 57 states, that means that potentially as many as 21 states haven’t yet surrendered (isn’t there also a highly-placed W H yahoo who still thinks we
have 57 states?).
Sounds like a timely trivia question for 5th graders (or wannabe entitlement teens in high school).

we don’t need all these pre-school programs, starting out in kindergarden is enough. the others are nothing but baby sitting class.
the welfare mommas can set and watch tv while someone else watches there wild kids.
the states should change their curriculum back to what was taught in the early 1900.s. the kids are being dumbed down by multiculturalist
philosophy. there are some in our society that cannot keep up in the learning ladder, some refuse to believe this, however, those that can excel are being punished by liberal standards written purposely for those that cannot. our future is in jeopardy, our technology is what made this country great. barry is not concerned about our technical advantage, he’s concerned about sitting in the wh and getting all the perks that go with it. he’s more concerned in advancing the muslim brotherhood. he’s throwing our borrowed money all over the muslim world, building mosques, repairing their cities and bankrupting our nation. take a look at somalia. this is one of barrys pet projects, he’s allowing immigration from that country and placing these people on the public dole here. (future votes) these african countries are a cesspool. the more you feed them the more they propogate, check back in history, there’s no end to it, they breed like rabbits.

The money the Government is granting to the states for the RTTT program is tax dollars paid by the citizens of this country. The states shouldn’t have to agree to any mandates set forth by OBUMMER in order to recieve this funding. In other words, The government collects our tax dollars, then generously offers to give them back but only if we (the states) abide by the OBUMMER’s rules…..I’m just saying.

RTT, Early Learning Challenge and Mein Kampf. Can you say praise the Fatherland?
Get your kids OUT of public schools! Why do people have kids if they’re not willing to see that they’re EDUCATED instead of INDOCTRINATED?
How much money has been WASTED on public schools since the late ’50s? That money could have been better spent on keeping Uncle Scam at a distance, so the old fart couldn’t brainwash future generations into thinking that the Fatherland comes first.
Parents, you have NO time left. You’ve had your heads so far up your rumps that you have no idea what’s going on in public schools, and you’re too DAMNED DUMB to learn.
Lousy parents = lousy kids, or should I say more fodder for the Fatherland? Maybe it would have turned out better if parents could have had no more than one kid per family. That would have limited Uncle Scam’s influence to dumb-down kids AND parents at the same time. What an incredible WASTE!

What is the best way to get out of debt… You guessed it.. spend more money that you don’t have on programs that nobody wants.

There are always strings atached to federal handouts, especially in the educational area. The feds need to keep control of what children are taught, to hold onto their unconstitutional control of our school system.

It has repeatedly been proven that operation “headstart” is a failure. If the taxpayers provide prechooling for the “disavantaged” from the age of 4 to six they will enter 1st grade with an advantage over those who did to receive this government babysitting program BUT by the time they are in the 4th grade it is impossible to tell by academic achievement if the child has received this training or not. So the training is worthless other than to provide babysittig for those on welfare. In the typical liberal/regressive fashion What does the O’bomb want to do ? ? Expand the program to include 2-3 year olds. Isn’t this the age when learning specialists have declared is the age when socialist poliicies are imprinted on a childs mind? Could this possibly be the o’bombs motive?

Can any of you say the Der Hitler Jungen? Oh thats rights its Der Barry Soetoro Youth here.
