RJA #10a- Thesis Statement

Research Question: Should young children go to preschool or stay at home with their parents?
Claim: Children at a young age should be in preschool.
Reasons:1. Children have better social skills when in preschool and and have better ways of interacting with peers and teachers.
2.They learn the basics and are well prepared for kindergarten.
3. It allows children to have time away from parents and siblings and interact with others and have experience in the school setting.
Thesis statement: If preschool is the best decision, based on professional advice and parents' deliberation, then is there evidence to prove that children who stay home with their parents rather than attending a preschool program are as likely to develop strong academic and social skills while building a strong self concept or self esteem and building good character?
