No its the others who are coming off as wench's, saying that ppl who send their kids to HS are poor or kids won't get anything out of HS, unless you have had personal experience with one of the HS around here, then I'm not interested. :rolleyes:

That was suppose to be funny? My original post said we didn't qualify because we made too much money. Obviously you were a product of the HS system though.

so why aren't folks beating down the doors to get in? :shrug: why aren't the less-than-quality daycares you speak of modeling themselves after head start so they can be the bestest? :shrug:

If you want a combined "interaction with kids" and "learning environment", learning centers (like daycare) are good ... La Petit comes to mind b/c my daugher went there, and while the director was a first class biatch, the teachers there are wonderful, degreed, and my daughter learned a lot there, like how to speak spanish, among many other things ... at 3.

If she's solely looking for interaction with other kids, have dad take the kid to a park ... or arrange with some other local stay at home parents to organize a playgroup a couple days a week.

I just think some parents try to push their kids too early into being a baby genius. I didn't push the DQ, and she's pretty dang smart for a 5 yr old. :ohwell: And I'm happy to say that a good bit of that is because of things we (my family and I) have taught her vs. expecting it to happen elsewhere.

just because we want our children to learn early doesnt mean we want them to be a genius. who would want that on there child anyway? not me.
