None of my kids attended pre-K and they did pretty good.
Bears mentioning, though, my oldest daughter suffered (in the bureaucratic sense) from an early immersion into group think. They said she was ADD. I disagreed. In the end, I believe I was right and she was Mandy. She's still Mandy.
Be wary of everything the public schools tell you about your children. Follow your instincts.
That's what I learned.
