This story was about if 3-4 year old should even go to preschool. In New York 2 mayors are arguing whether parents really need to spend money on there kids to go to preschool. They followed around a little girl Ashlyn around the school and what she does everyday, her schedule was busy with fun stuff, and she has a very high vocabulary, and is already doing addition math. The mayors are arguing about if parents think they actually learn anything and the difference it would make on a child if they didn't go to preschool. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/02/08/krista-our-kids-tell-the-story-of-why-preschool-is-a-must/5328181/
"Now think about children who have every advantage stripped away – no books, no dependable adults, no conversation, no music, no art materials, no structure, no emotional warmth. Where exactly do they go every day without preschool? How exactly do they prepare to sit next to super-ready kids like yours in kindergarten?"
This quote is very, very true, it is long which is good to get there point across. If children didn't have preschool they would have no opportunity to improve or help them for kindergarten, it is great to have experience when you are so little, it gives them time to settle in to the new enviorment.
3 questions I have for Krista Ramsey
1. How does she think of these topics, or find out about them?
2. Do these columns influence her life at all?
3. When did she start these columns?
