I think one con is: the kid's going to be in school for 13 years minimum as it is. Why push it?
In our town, they had great programs for children in the library and at parks for free or a small fee. Mine went to an activities group run by the township, two days a week, hour each til they were 4, 2 hours the year before kindergarten.
Pre-K seems to be some kind of scam for most normal and advanced kids and their parents, as if they MUST have it or they're losers and that's just bullshit. My kids both were reading and writing before getting into kindergarten and have been A students since day one and the only person who taught them until kindergarten was me.
