[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your child does not need school at 4. Yes, you may want him/her to go and think it will benefit him/her, but your "homeschooling" comment was weird. Hell, kids don't even really need academics at 5, as kindergarten is more about learning to socialize. The pre-K stuff in this city is meant mostly [b]to benefit lower-income families who would be incredibly burdened by paying for daycare for those years.[/b] I get it, I'm sending my 3 year old to school, but if we didn't get in anywhere I wouldn't be "homeschooling. That's weird.[/quote] Actually it is to help disadvantaged children try to catch up/keep pace with their higher SES developmentally and academically, less about affordable day care. It's worth reading about the 30 million word gap study http://www.npr.org/2013/12/29/257922222/closing-the-word-gap-between-rich-and-poor[/quote]
