That does not contradict that research.

Why do you right wingers always go out of the way to discount science??

That is a really stupid thing to do.

>> Why are you always fighting against the scientific evidence.

“A 2005 analysis by researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, found that kindergartners with 15 or more hours of preschool every week were less motivated and more aggressive in class. Likewise, Canada’s C.D. Howe Institute found a higher incidence of anxiety, hyperactivity and poor social skills among kids in Quebec after universal preschool.”

"The authors acknowledge that scientific understanding of the long-term effects of preschool is “very much in its infancy. But one inescapable conclusion from the existing research is that it is not for everyone. Kids with loving and attentive parents—the vast majority—might well be better off spending more time at home than away in their formative years."
