The importance of kindergarten

Who your kindergarten teacher is turns out to be just as important as every mom knows in her gut.
While Pennsylvania doesn't require kindergarten, and even 10 years ago certain principals were insisting that moms were using kindergarten as taxpayer-paid daycare, turns out that kindergarten is pretty important.
A recent study, which hasn't been peer reviewed yet, suggests that your child's kindergarten teacher influences whether she goes to college. And going to college will influence her future earnings.
Turns out kindergarten, and the teacher, is the classroom to your child's future and the teacher is makes a huge difference.
