If you do not understand the importance of early education and think it is totally useless. I don't know how to respond to anything you say.When should a person get educated. How much do they need?Answer my question.

Young children will learn in any environment that you put them in where they are interacting with others (children and adults). In that sense it is important to put young children in environments where there is a lot of stimulation. It turns out that the best way to keep young minds busy while babysitting them is to give them lots of stimulation. Having sent my son to a ridiculously expensive pre-school, I am still of the opinion that it is glorified child care.

If five families got together and had a parent take the role of caregiver for the five children on alternating days. And the parent did what normal parents do by playing with the five children and reading them stories and helping them color and answer their questions and generally interact with the children, it would be every bit as beneficial as the most expensive pre-school.

The problem is that there are quite a few parents out there who find it burdensome to interact with their children and to read stories to them and show them their colors and play with them. And in this case, putting a child in pre-school will provide a benefit to the child simply because the parents are incompetent at their primary role in this universe. And of course, liberal philosophy encourages this attitude by taking the responsibility of raising children away from the parents and trying to put it into the schools.

The issue isn't early education, the issue is bad parenting.
