Might want to ask the people at Rowland Hall why their pre-school education works so well. Kids come out of their pre-school and enter kindergarten reading reasonably well, writing basics in place and doing basic math. That kind of “head start” really is beneficial. Model what works. Dump what doesn’t.

Whatever happening to cutting it out completely, dropping it like the dead horse it is! …. and always has been! There are so many programs like this in education! While reading, writing, and arithmetic have been set to the back burner in order to provide for these man praising programs made to make names for administrators who do it so they can make a name for themselves and advance in the sea of high dollar bureaucratic careers in the UEA and NEA!!! They have attempted to re-write history leaving out Christ and the role He has played in our nation! The pagan idolatry of man worship and the man made, has stricken Him from their pylons and brought this nation to its knees. We will fall if we successfully become the “anti-Christian” nation that so many “do gooders” seek. Education needs to return to the class rooms and be controlled and supported by local levels for the true education of our children, not the sculpturing of every whim of the idolatry of men and their cunning governemnts……………..
