Project 1 Topic

Part 1:
For my first project I will be writing about full day kindergarten in schools and I will base this argument on the choice of, “Despite popular opinion, full day kindergarten is a great experience. To more narrow down the subject I will look into many aspects of the issue. Is there enough money to pay the teachers to work a full day? Is there enough money to have the program be open a full day? Does full day kindergarten effect the development of a child that age? How do parents and educators feel about the subject? These are the questions that I will try to find answers for in my research.
