I'm not sure what the general feeling about universal preschool is on these boards, I don't think I've ever seen it discussed, even. I've been against it for awhile, but then I'm not too fond of the public school system, anyway. I have been looking into homeschooling my two kids for the last year (my kids are 4 and 2) and I'm teaching my older kid to read right now (thank for the Hooked on Phonics kit, mom!). I do find it interesting that research by those who are trying to push universal preschool down our throats and make us send our kids to preschool is showing it's not as necessary as they've been trying to make us believe. I doubt the local moms I've spoken to will change their minds after this, though.
Anyway, here's the
