Quote
Today whenever we hear that children aren’t learning much of what is taught in school the hue and cry from the educational establishment is that we must therefore teach more of it! If 200 hours of instruction on subject X does no good, well, let’s try 400 hours. If children aren’t learning what is taught to them in first grade, then let’s start teaching it in kindergarten. And if they aren’t learning it in kindergarten, that could only mean that we need to start them in pre-kindergarten!
