Jennifer Moody: Where is passion for pre-school programs?

If only the people of Adair County would take just as big of a stand against cutting our preschool program that they have done for cutting a teacher from the Ag program! It's sad! - Jennifer Moody

Personal Commentary

While I appreciate that Adair Countians are passionate about our Ag program, I am disappointed that we have not taken a bigger stand for our preschool students.

In the past, the preschool program was a four-day program. Due to budget cuts, the preschool program had to be cut down to a two-day program.

To most of you, this may not seem like a big deal. However, to the kids, it is a big deal.



My daughter and son started in preschool last year (3 and 4 years old at the time) and my 3-year-old is doing his 2nd year this year.

He is only allowed to go to preschool on Mondays and Wednesdays and on Tuesday and Thursday, he asks me if he gets to go to school again.

I have to sadly tell him that it's not Monday or Wednesday and he can't go.

When a young child gets used to a particular schedule and that schedule changes, it makes a big difference.

Not only do I feel sad that my son does not get the same experience that he received last year, I'm upset because on weeks when there is no school on a Monday or Wednesday (which has been a lot lately), he then only gets to go to school ONE day a week.

That's not fair. If only the people of Adair County would take just as big of a stand against cutting our preschool program that they have done for cutting a teacher from the Ag program! It's sad! --Jennifer Moody
