I also disagree with making it mandatory. I think that parents should make the decision that is best for their kids. I think that they should offer both full and 1/2 day. I understand that a working parent may need the full day for their child, however I highly doubt that they will learn much more in a full day, some will just get more frusterated and resistant to school.
I believe that the best way for a child to learn is through one on one attention from a parent or caregiver. Our son is 3 does not go to preschool, but he already knows all of the letters and most of the letter sounds, and is close to reading. I have not pushed him, but through reading and simple activities he learns quickly. We go to story time and that hour is about all that he can handle of structured time.
