Education Standards for Preborns

Education Standards for Preborns

As educational standards have swept across the country, federal, state and county governments as well as school district and even local schools have been furiously composing standards and aligning their curriculums to match. However I’ve noticed a shocking absence of standards for children ages 3 and younger. Sensing that leadership is needed in this area, and in the interest of inclusion and no child left behind, I’ve invited together a committee composed of educational experts, consultants, authors, psychologists, academia and school administration. So far none of them have ever shown up, but that little impediment didn’t stop the committee from composing academic and functional standards for the P-12 crowd. That’s pre-born to 12 months old.
