That school is basically daycare (or a prison to some) is something I read often and there is maybe a tiny bit of truth in it.

But a school is also where you learn to read, write, speak, maths, some physics, some chemistry, etc.

In doubt I put my kid, from a very early age, in a top-notch private school in english (she's not a native english speaker).

My thinking being that, even if it's daycare/prison where nothing is taught (which I don't think is the case but I'm at least entertaining the idea), she's at least learning to speak english fluently : )

Bit if a side note: One thing about the “daycare myth” that bothers me, usually when it’s used to diminish the status of teachers, is how hard daycare workers work and how important that job is.
