The article I choose talks about why preschool is a necessary step in schooling. It supports this claim by saying some children don't have as many advantages as others that they start in kindergarten behind others, also that preschool starts some of the necessary habits and learning techniques that help with learning abilities.
"Now think about children who have every advantage stripped away – no books, no dependable adults, no conversation, no music, no art materials, no structure, no emotional warmth. Where exactly do they go every day without preschool? How exactly do they prepare to sit next to super-ready kids like yours in kindergarten?"
This line from the article really impacted me because it made me realize that preschool really prepares children who need it for kindergarten and the rest of their life. Because of the way that the author wrote this sentence, by creating a situation and then ending it with a question it really made me think about children who don't have as good opportunities as some people do. Ms. Ramsey also compares the children with less opportunities to privileged children, how that will affect them in class.
When Ms. Ramsey's writes she uses emotion to her advantage. Such as in the "Super Bowl QB's Score Points For Great Style" she writes about situations that pull the reader in and make them want to help join her cause. "The sight of sports jerseys and sweat pants at a carefully planned memorial service could be hurtful." In the articles Ms. Ramsey writes she also states other side affects of the issue. As examples from "For Better Vision, Kids Need Time Outdoors." She writes about why too much time on electronics are bad for your eyes but she also adds other things too much screen time can affect, "You can’t help but worry what all that screen time is doing to his posture, social skills and grades. But more and more experts are wondering what it’s doing to kids’ vision."
If I were to ever meet Ms. Ramsey I would ask her these three questions.
1. What are some articles you've written that you feel very strongly about?
2. If you weren't a writer what do you see yourself doing?
3. What are some experiences you've been able to have because of your job?
Preschool Is A Must
