Proposal for Presentation
The debate on children's development is a hot topic no matter what the age. As of right now parents, schools, and educational systems are debating specifically the importance of children's education in the preschool system. Those in favor of preschool education believe that it benefits those families that come from lower-income backgrounds as well as improving the child's social skills and giving them access to environments different than what they have at home. Those opposed believe that universal preschool is primarily targeted to low-income families, and would not benefit people of a higher economic class. In addition, they also believe that because public schools around the US are failing they see no reason to support preschools, and use taxpayers' money on a service they might not use. This poster will explore the pros and cons of mandatory universal preschool.
