I want to thank Meat-head again for proving how absurd people can be! Universal preschool (does he not know Kindergarten is not even mandatory)
Prop. 82 is one more way of stealing from the rich to pay for something that won't pay for itself. It is one more way of feminizing our boys. Or drugging them. Let's see stick boys at 3 in a classroom setting. Tell them to sit, color in the lines.. etc.. oh yeah and don't wrestle, don't throw the ball basically don't be boy.. and if you do do those things; yep you must have adhd or add. Give them a pill that will cure it. No what will cure it is them being at home with their mommy or daddy or grandpa etc. They need to be running free, finding out what a birds nest looks like. They need to be taking a hammer and banging nails into a board. They need to be pirates, and peter-pan. They need to be taking care of their animals. and not just sitting in group listening to some lady read them a story about them. And if they are going to be read to (and they should be) it needs to be cuddled up on the couch with someone they love. Not trying so hard to sit Indian style on a rug and getting a demerit for moving their little legs.
The studies they use are ridiculous. I can show you so many studies that show kids should be left alone until about 8, or studies that show they are catch up with each other around 3rd grade (hmm around 8) Or the younger children start in preschool/daycare the more aggressive they tend to be. Can't imagine why? I know the kids they are talking about. Those who are in the inner-city.. who they think are going to be on the streets.. Wow what a slap in the face to all those grandmas in the inner-city taking care of those babies. And why should those who make more money pay for it. You have the kid you pay for it! Do people ever think about how this works.. tax those who make the money.. they then let go of those who work for them and now the poorer get poorer.. and the those who made the money keep making it.
I know people will think I am nieve. I think they are if they think this is a good idea. I mean they can't even get it right with K-12 ( and I promise you it is not because they don't get enough money.. but that is a different blog)and now they want my baby. I think NOT!
.)? I think yes! I need to have a place to sound off, ask questions, leave my mark on the world...and since I am always writing the paper and sometimes it gets in, at least with my on blog I know it will get in. Now rather anyone reads it or not that is a different story.
