I've read most of the Psychological research on this matter and there are compelling arguments on both sides. I personally did not go to pre-school.
Going slightly off topic im slightly skeptical of pre-school and primary (elementary for you americans) school eduction anyway because of my own experiences with it. When I was in Primary school they kept putting me in special needs classes and telling me not to read the books I was reading (I was interested in Dickens and biographies of Presidents at the time...dont ask). The funny thing was as soon as I got to high school (or middle school - you yanks) I started getting A's and being encouraged for the same things that made them think I had problems in Primary School. Its not just me,most of my friends that are going to university or have gone already have had simular experiences. It makes me think we should have a serious look at education itself anyway...
Education is better than no education.
