This is one part of a much larger trend of dismantling all niceness in American life. EVERYONE now works much harder than they used to: workers work more than 10 hours a day with similar or lesser benefits, college students work much harder to get the same jobs, where we had one breadwinner supporting an entire family we now have two struggling to support families. Even kindergarten kids work harder than they ever have in history.<p>It does not take a genius to figure out that this is not a sustainable system. All benefits of the lower classes working really hard will keep accumulating to the top until society collapses on itself. Or maybe not; we could return to a stable feudalism.<p>In any case, the solution to this obviously is that kids should not have preschool, but their parents (particularly the mom) should stay home with the kids and play. That interaction with parents teaches kids far more than a lowly paid preschool teacher will. That&#x27;s how it was done for centuries. That&#x27;s what works.
