How about leaving the kid at home. The "professionals" have managed to get us in the situation we are now in, and you think the solution is more of the same? Home schooled children exhibit none of the failures you cite and test in the top percentiles nationwide.
The IQ measurements are transitory.
Poverty is the number one predictor of ecucational acheivement. Most kids living in poverty are in single parent house-holds with the mother. Instead of throwing money at pre-school education, perhaps you should advocat the novel idea of sex in the context of marriage. They used to be kinda linked. If a father was around, the mother might be at home raising her kids instead of working 2 jobs at low pay. And, if the father is uneducated, it might not hurt to reduce the illegal alien labor supply so that he can get a decent entry level job at a decent wage. The stunning thing is that we know what works, it's worked for centuries, but those of a particular political bent are unwilling to impose consequences on poor socieital behavior and, instead, try to wallpaper over a cracked wall with government funded programs. Did I say government funded? I meant to say sailaway21 funded programs, since I'm keeping track. Ideas have consequences. The consequences of a two parent household rearing children can be observed on college admission boards. The consequences of single parent child rearing, and poverty, are merely calls for more funding for bananas and condoms.
