In saying “Two politicians in the headlines this week have forgotten what
they should have learnt many years ago”, Linda Wilkins (Letters, October 20)
inadvertently implies a fundamental truth about early childhood education.
She hopes that in pre-school, children are taught “how to behave in our
society”. In pre-school they’re taught by people who are strangers at first, and come and go. When it’s not our parents who teach us in the home “to play
fair” etc, the message is not absorbed into our marrow.
The evidence is all
around us: cheating on partners and ‘buddies’, escalating abuse,
violence, prisons stuffed full and police on the back foot.
What’s more, depriving very young children of parental role models, male and female, is an essential tool in the Marxist kit for building the
all-property-owning state. Left-leaning domination of educational institutions,
including pre-school and kindergarten teacher training, has the advantage in
shaping very young minds, shut up as they are in alien, racketty, crowded
pre-schools and let out into normal life only in crocodiles.
Wilkins can’t blame these two politicians, both almost certainly grads of pre-school,
for forgetting what they never learned.
