Courtland Haynes Early childhood education is something that should be a requirement for every child Every child should have to go to school at the age of 3. The earlier the child goes to school the better, because it gets the children ready to go to real school. Children should be in school when they are able to talk, because it gets their brain working and gets them prepared for the real world. www.edutopia.org states, “Nationwide, almost 64% of children attend preschool centers in the year prior to kindergarten, typically at age four. On any given day, more than five million American youngsters attend some early childhood education.” That seems like a lot, but you have to realize that www.childstats.gov says that there are 25.7 million children in the U.S. between the ages of 0-5 years. While in school, children practice many key components of the school day, including the importance of routine. That’s key to early learning. They understand carpet time, clean-up procedures, how to share crayons or even getting their pants off and on without the teacher’s help. Children that young only have a certain amount of what’s called active working memory. If a large portion of their brain is figuring out what they’re going to do next, there’s less room there to spend on learning. Result: Early childhood education has a huge impact on their ability to keep up in class. Diane Flynn Keith, founder of Universal Preschool, says, “The only way to prepare children for standardized testing is to teach a standardized curriculum. Standardized preschool curriculum includes reading, writing, math, science, and social sciences at a time when children are developmentally vulnerable and may be irreparably harmed by such a strategy.” If you try to keep children home until it’s required for them to go to school, they won’t be ready for school like other students who actually went to an early childhood education institute. While working at a childcare center, I realized that parents think that their children just go to school and daycare to play, and that’s not the case. Other parents think that their child will be scared and over-whelmed going to school at an early age, but most kids actually like going to school because they get to play and learn with kids that they don’t usually hang with. The children learn and play all at the same time. If kids play while they are learning, they will remember more. While going to these early childhood education centers, children learn to play and play to learn. Going to school at an early age is good for children for multiple reasons. I encourage everyone to sign up their children for early childhood education.
They’re Still Human Amber Tuttle Some believe it’s a form of contraception, in all truth, it’s a form of murder. There are many views on abortion, but pro-life has the most logical evidence. As we all know, life begins at conception. We also know condoms are cheap and there are numerous forms of birth control. In the logical mind, there isn’t a reason for an abortion to take place. In everyday American life, we see people sentenced to years behind bars for murdering a human. That makes sense to us, but what makes abortion different? Life begins at conception. Within the first twelve weeks, everything is present and most even having function. A fetus is human, so why don’t these people go to jail for murder? People come in all forms, colors, shapes, and sizes. A fetus is a person, right? It has body parts and functions the way we do. So how can people kill a fetus and claim it’s okay, but when a grown human kills someone else it’s totally wrong? In my eyes it’s the same; murder is murder no matter what stage of life it happens in. With today’s doctors and medicine, there are many forms of birth control. It’s encouraged once a girl becomes sexually active, that they start using a form of birth control. Although birth control isn’t 100 % pregnancy preventable, there is rarely a case of a female becoming pregnant with the effective use of birth control. Many claim they don’t use birth control due to the cost and insurance problems. There are cheap condoms. Many gas stations have machines in the bathroom and for 4 quarters you can have a condom. If a condom doesn’t work, instead of committing murder to an innocent baby, you could choose adoption. There are many women who dream of having kids but aren’t given that privilege. You can always give your child to someone like that. You always have the option to close the adoption or keep it open. Closed means you sign the baby away and don’t see it again. Open means you send and receive pictures every 6 months and you have the option to see them once a year. Sounds better than murdering an innocent child, doesn’t it? With abortions come life-long, intense, psychological stress and pain. Many women abort a child and expect to have an easy time when they feel ready to start a family. With abortion comes higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease and miscarriage. Also, through the process, you increase your chances to develop uterine, cervical and breast cancer. Abortion can become a lifetime regret. Eventually might decide you want a baby, but it’s too late because you’ve developed a complication. You also have to face the guilt of killing an innocent child. No child asks to be born, it just happens. We can all agree abortion is a form of murder. People take the life of an innocent child because of a mistake they made. If people can go to jail for murdering a physically present human everyone can see, why can’t we charge the people who kill the human inside a woman’s uterus? Murder is defined as killing a human; abortion is killing a human. They should carry the same charges.
