During nap time our teacher would cruise around and check on us as we "slept" on our little mats. I can still remember her jade green mini skirt (1970), white knee high leatherette boots and her red lace underwear. You were in kindergarten in 1970? . Maybe he was in kindergarten for 10 years and it took a while for him to advance. I can see that happening considering how he posts today.

I was in kindergarten in about 1975. Had my little friend and we were inseparable til she moved away.
Actually have some memory of the school and doing speech therapy. The school had just started the therapy thing and there were a few of us doing it. Couple of us couldn't hear, some kids with lisps, and a few with physical disabilities.

Having 4 kids and 10 grandkids who went through pre-K it makes a world of difference. Not only in learning but social skills also. Three and four year olds are better off with their parents and being at home. Plenty of studies that show preschool isn’t what it’s made out to be. www.npr.org/2022/02/10/1079406041/researcher-says-rethink-prek-preschool-prekindergarten And there are a lot of other sites that state the fact that children are better off with their parents at that age.

The article did not indicate the children would be better off with their parents, it determined the one state wide program had issues. The article also mentions other studies of individual programs whose data indicates they improved the children's outcome. And the bottom line is basically some programs are good and some are not.

How many children and grandchildren do you have?

I have mixed opinions on this subject. It depends on the parent/s that are at home with the child. Are they helping the child learn? Do they allow them to develop social skills outside of the home? I know of some kids that stay home with mom and or dad. Some of them car barely talk at 3 years old and have zero social skills. Most of them are given a tablet to entertain them but not much in regards to learning. I also know of some parents that have done extremely well with their kids learning at home. It really boils down to parenting and as we all know not everyone is a good parent much less a good teacher.

How many children and grandchildren do you have? Two and one. My daughters did not go to any pre school (didn’t have it back then) Grand kid went to kindergarten. So what exactly does having or not having children has to do with this issue??

The article did not indicate the children would be better off with their parents, it determined the one state wide program had issues. The article also mentions other studies of individual programs whose data indicates they improved the children's outcome. And the bottom line is basically some programs are good and some are not. There are many other articles and studies that show both sides. As said, it depends on the parents. But with what’s going on in the public school system today, I would have a lot of reservations on sending any kid in there.

Good communities usually mean good schools.

So what exactly does having or not having children has to do with this issue?? Just curious to see where you were coming from. I don't put much stock in reports when I've had first hand experience. All my kids and grandkids went to kindergarten, turned out well adjusted and did well in school. You probably need to reread the article and look at the group she evaluated. Low income, broken home children who did well the year after but succumbed to a lack of parental guidance in later years. "Dale Farran has been studying early childhood education for half a century. Yet her most recent scientific publication has made her question everything she thought she knew."
"It included 2,990 low-income children in Tennessee who applied to free, public prekindergarten programs. "
"Farran and her co-authors at Vanderbilt University followed both groups of children all the way through sixth grade. At the end of their first year, the kids who went to pre-K scored higher on school readiness — as expected."
"But after third grade, they were doing worse than the control group. And at the end of sixth grade, they were doing even worse."

It all begins at home. Schools can enhance children but if the parents aren’t doing their job than it’s all in vain.
