How early is too early?
When doing a school project that is
worth 50 percent of your grade, if you start it early you have time to edit,
revise, and submit it before it’s due. This will only help you get a good grade. Start it too late, well you’re looking at an
all-nighter, poor work, and the possibility of turning it in late (if your
professor even lets you). Just like homework, there is a perfect time to start an education.
One can never start learning too early but can be doomed by learning too late.
In fact, children are learning something new every day since
they day they are born. They are learning about the world around them; picking
up new sounds, visions, feelings, and smells. So it would only make sense to
keep the learning process going.
The Great Start Readiness Program is created to keep the learning
going for children who aren’t in kindergarten, yet. This program is an early
child education program where children go to school to prepare them for
kindergarten. Giving them all the foundation skills they would need for the
next level of education. It is preparation. Just like every other grade, so it
makes sense. Governor Snyder is looking to add an additional $65 million to the
already $65 million program. This would allow for enrollment of an additional
16,000 4-year old to the current 48,075 preschoolers. This expansion would be
HUGE.
The reasoning behind this proposal is to make Michigan a “no-wait”
state. Meaning, children do not have to wait for an education. The education is
there and ready for the youngsters.
Schools are taking to this program nicely. They are a hit
amongst administrators and parents. Schools in the Detroit Public School and
Madison Public Schools have already had such positive feedback from this program
that they are looking to add more classrooms to their schools. Child Center
owner Lisa Alawie, states, ”I’ve
already had to open up an extra classroom for those on a waiting list, and
parents still are coming in to ask about the classes”.
Governor Snyder is doing a great
job at keeping out schools a top most priority. Education is the key to success
and I’m not just saying that because I plan on being a teacher. Everything we
do comes from the knowledge we have; the knowledge we received as children. If
we can start our children off with a strong foundation they will continue to
grow with more knowledge we would have ever believed possible. Every child
would benefit from an early start on education.
The bottom line is that it is
never too early to start educating our children, especially if we want them to
succeed. We would only be hindering our children’s abilities by keeping them
away from the knowledge that they deserve.
