| 1286003 | 2012-07-04 23:32:00 | I find that the complaints about the lack of pre school education are ridiculous! It is the parents responsibility to teach their children to read and write. I was taught by my Mother, and my kids were taught by my wife and I, they could read and write by the time they went to school. Of course, if the parents are illiterate then you have a problem. Maybe breeding permits should be introduced, some of the conditions being that the parents are literate, married, financially stable. |

| 1286004 | 2012-07-04 23:43:00 | Yup, fully agree with you, early childhood should be the parents responsibility. A parent can do what a kindergarten can't, such as leave them with a passion for reading e.t.c | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1286005 | 2012-07-04 23:55:00 | I never went to Kindergarten before going to school. My mother stayed at home to look after us kids. Most likely the kids of today who go to Kindergarten are those who have working mothers. I cannot remember being disadvantaged by not going to kindergarten maybe because it was a long time ago. |

| 1286006 | 2012-07-05 00:26:00 | I never went kindergarten either. Mum tried to teach me a few things but I wasn't interested at the time. I was more interested in playing with my Lego. I don't think there was any disadvantage in not going. But the again, kindergarten does give the parents a brake from the kids for a couple of days a week. |

| 1286007 | 2012-07-05 00:31:00 | Kindergarten, in my younger days, did not try to teach reading or writing in any form. I was certainly not disadvantaged by this. | user (1404) | ||

For an eduacation [sic] thread we're not doing too bad ... disadvantage in not going - subject but an indeterminate predicate But the again - huh? brake - break :devil |

| 1286011 | 2012-07-05 02:53:00 | Even the best of us cant spell . . . . . . . . . And as i work at one of those centres . We can only work with the children while they are with us, we set rules, boundaries, role modeling, as well as them learning, and a large moment of time seems to be given to teaching behavior what is acceptable, what not to do, and then try to get them sorted on language, numbers, names, colours, alphabet, and to write their names . Using scissors, and holding a pencil seems to be a big stumbling block for some children . Id also say there are families where there are no toys, or books in there house's, just TV's, PS2 / 3 or Xbox's . . . . . . . . . and a lot i work with dont have computer's either . They may be orn into the jet age and its all dropped in their lap, but if the parent who is raising them hasnt been parented in what is right and wrong . . . . then where is the hope that these children will turn out ok? beetle |

| 1286012 | 2012-07-05 03:01:00 | Granddaughter has kindy. best thing they did for her. She learns writing, (getting there, they're mostly recognisable now), reading and all that. The main thing is interaction with other kids, she has no siblings and there are no neighbour kids or relatives for her. My son went to kindy, he could write by the time he got to school. If he'd hated it I wouldn't have bothered but he liked Kindy. I went to Kindy twice, first with my brother, because my mum had to take me (being younger) as my brother being as he was... So by the time I finished my kindy, I could read. Properly, fully. Used to get in trouble at kindy for reading and then not wanting to participate in teacher reading time......I'd already read them...LOL. So it's not just learning, it's being with other kids too. And nothing wrong with a bit of learning before they get to school anyway, gets them used to the process, no crying fits at school on first day or any of that not knowing whats going to happen |
