The topic that I would chose to make a major contribution to children and their families is making Pre-K full day versus half day. Children will learn a lot more coming to school 8 hours versus 3 hours. The students will be more successful in Kindergarten. I know that Pre-K is their first experience in school but they can handle coming to school all day and learning a lot more. Students will have more time to socialize with children their age. They can focus on Science, Math, and ELA each day instead of working only one two each day.
With Pre-K being all day it will save parents a lot of money because they will not have a daycare bill. Children will get a hot meal twice a day at school plus a snack before they go home. Pre-K all day is going to benefit everybody.

Hi Chasity,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post. I agree that children will be more successful in kindergarten and it will take the full day of learning to prepare children. Children will have more time to learn socialization skills as well as learn academic subjects which will have a positive effect on achievement scores in the third grade and above. I enjoyed your post.
