Since this is an on-going debate, it reminded me of how a member here posed a challenge to people who strongly believe in the benefits of pre-school and asked that they post proof (actual studies) that showed the benefits of preschool academics for children who were not already academically behind, or living in poverty.
This poster challenged others to find studies they could show/post that proved preschool has it's benefits.
So far no one has been able to do this.
Here is an excellent debate about the benefits of preschool and early education.

There is definitely two different perspective s with very valid points on each side. I know where i stand but prefer to let others choose for themselves.
