[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids do not go to preschool prior to K.  Maybe on DCUM but normally, no. [/quote]

I can't find the most recent stats, but this data from 2005 shows that 2/3 of 4-yr olds are in preschool (including daycare preschool programs) and it's over 80% for families with incomes of $75K+.

[b]Attending at least one year of preschool is the norm for moderate to high-income families. [/b] [/quote]

And last time I checked moderate to high income families represent the top 5% of the country.  I guess you only associate yourself with that top 5%

You do realize that the median family income for the US is only $52,250 and many of those people live in the DC Metro area surrounded by the clueless snobs who believe preschool is a must.

I can completely, honestly say that I do not know a SINGLE person personally who skipped preschool.

Same here. I don't know any children who skipped it. Not one.[/quote]

That is a reflection of you and your ignorance.  [/quote]

NP.  The median family income for DC is $91,193.  [/quote]
