Do you think preschool is necessary?

[Anonymous]

I don't. I never went to preschool. My mom taught me at home. That was way better than those teachers in preschool.

To a certain extent it is indeed necessary: 'we' need a wide enough basic pool of obedient, uncritical and brainwashed good citizens to keep the country going

(apparently, there's more than only ONE country on our planet)

[Asker]

Thank God you are not one of those obedient, uncritical and brainwashed good citizens.

[andreasderjuengere]

That's the rumour.

[AngryCarl]

No, kids should be looked after by their parents until they go to school. But that wouldn't be "productive", would it?

[Asker]

So, are you saying preschool is good?

[AngryCarl]

Not really, no.

[lalaloveee]

Yes it improves social skills.

[Asker]

I think the social skills go both ways. Positive and negative.

[In_Trance]

Really depends on how you look at it.
Is it necessary in the sense that it's a form of childcare will people go out and earn wages to try to survive? Yes

[Guy13]

Home school is best.

Preschool is just glorified daycare.
