Too many children do not have access to high quality early education and this would directly remedy this. It is long overdue, especially what we now know about brain development in the early years.

Kindergarten was to prepare children for school. Now it's required class and children need to test for readiness. Pre-K will help children and working parents with school readiness/

The curriculum in schools was altered to reflect Nazi ideology and priorities. The importance put on subjects like chemistry and mathematics was reduced. By the end of the 1930s, religious education was banned. Sound familiar?

0Too young for kids to be thrown togehter in school-like settings. Child warehousing for longer won't help the children.

Indoctrination must start, at the earliest age, as is possible. Masks should be worn, at all times.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
