As soon as they enter the Schooling-System… the “telling” begins. The teacher “tells”, the kids listen and obey.
I sent my kids to pre-school before they were out of nappies. At the time, I vehemently believed that public schools were best.

Morgan stayed at pre-school for 3 and a half years… (and I’m still trying to un-do what was done).
