The isn't the only article I've read that talks about how preschool isn't all it's touted to be, it's just the most recent.
Here's
another .
I'm not sure how it's done through the rest of the US, as laws vary by state, but here in CA, school isn't mandatory until the child is going to be 6 near the beginning of the school year. Not many people actually know this, at least not many people I've spoken to. They just assumed that kindergarten was mandatory and that you need to get your kids into school asap. Even before my husband and I decided homeschooling was the way for us to go, I wasn't too comfortable with that idea. Nor do I like or trust daycare. I know it's necessary sometimes, but since I didn't have to put my kids in daycare, I didn't.
