Interesting Article On Kindergartens In Denmark
Today I stumbled by an article in the Danish newspaper Dagbladet Information titled "We love kindergartens, but we have no reason to". One of Denmark's leading child psychologists, Dion Sommer, points to research showing that the development of children suffers from spending too much time in kindergartens. However, since parents are dependent on these institutions, they refuse to see the damage the kindergartens are inflicting on their children.
Anyway, if you read Danish, the article makes for interesting reading.
May 20 Update: Dagbladet and VG report today that Norway's socialist government wants to cut government support for private kindergartens. The government's goal is of course that all children are raised by the public school system as this will allow the children to be socialized (i.e. brainwashed) with the proper socialist ideas.
