Scene: A parent or parents rushing about each day, Pre-schools overflowing. Teachers lacking credentials. TeacherAids fustered, without proper training. Parents forced to work two jobs in order to be able to pay for these so-called pre-school/day care centers. Many overcrowded.
Case in point. A single father places 4 yr old in pre-school. Mainly kids playing games or napping each day. Some academic instruction but NO assist. with learning ro write name, numbers. "Educated" assurances that new syst. of learning is to let "kids" write what they see - to NOT encourage good penmanship, amongst other sadly lacking teaching skills.
Father takes kid out...places with educated aunt who is home each day w/two pre-schoolers herself. Child flourishes with simple learning aids. Is now fifth grader. Does excellent in all subjects. The Moral? $375,00 week at so-called pre-school/day care versus $150.00 week (she didn't ask to be paid but he insisted) where child excelled.
What's happening?
