Message | We don't reallly see the need for pre-school education. All you learn to do is color and cut paper. Unless we are persuaded to vote in favor of this, we must decline our support. |

Date | 17:48:34, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Teleurstelling Party | To | Debating the Pre-School Education Act |
Message | Pre-school education develops the proper skills for success in school. It is the point where children can be evaluated for special needs education, social understanding is developed in an atmosphere where if the learning curve is steep it is not to the detriment of the child. Finally statistically children who attend pre-school, all day pre-school being best perform markedly better throughout their educational careers then those who do not. |
