If anyone goes back it will always be self contained first, then ELL, ECE, THEN K-2. I’m sorry but ECE is important and they don’t have time to be teaching K-2 kids.

This is why the US is rapidly falling behind other countries that on average have 97% participation across ECE. [/quote]

No way. If they prioritize PK3 and 4, it should only be for childcare. K and 1st are muuuuch more important. [/quote]

No, it’s not this is the exact mindset that keeps us behind. But this is probably why most parents aren’t experts[/quote]

Can you share some studies that show this?  Because I agree with PP, K and 1st are really critical grades and should be prioritized over ECE.[/quote]

I think the person claiming this only has a 3 year old. There’s no other explanation. [/quote]

Er, the other explanation is that she is right — at least partly.

If you are affluent, ECE is not critical.

If you are lower-income, ECE is critical.

Google it yourself and be better informed.[/quote]

the question is if it is more critical than kindergarten. I doubt there is good research on this, but having seen just how much my kid learned in k and 1st, I think K and 1st are irreplaceable. they are the years you learn to read and write! I can believe good preschool is helpful but it’s just not anywhere close to the academic content of K and 1st. [/quote]

If PK3 and PK4 ECE are the most important grades (vs all others) then why isn't DC the best school system in the country?

You are taking studies about the importance of ECE out of context. They do not argue it is more important than other grades. They argue that educational outcomes are improved when they are provided.  [/quote]
