preschool really is a good thing, i started at age 3 and did it for 2 years, and it did help my social development, my social inadequacies didn't start until 6th grade, but i did have problems reading for the longest time, i think till I was about 6 did i get the hang of it, and works of fiction still give me problems
and i do agree if you keep politics out of education until they are mature enough to understand it, you can't go wrong
and that reminds me of the 92 election, we had a mock election in the 4th grade, and out of the 41 students in my class 17 went Clinton, 18 went Bush, 6 went Perot (including me, so basically i was drawn by the comedic nature of his giants ears and voice, obviously knew knowing about anything) and only one 1 said he was undecided, this kid clearly thought about the issues, which for a 10 year old not influenced by his parents affiliations was really impressive in retrospect
the thing about it is, as important as education is, there are gonna always be dunderheads who will never get, and those who do, kids just find a way to either make it or waste their life pretty much on their own, but culture influence does seem to be increasing year by year
