The opinions stated by Gayle Ruzicka concerning preschool education have no basis in fact ("Trib Talk: The debate over preschool in Utah," Tribune, Feb. 10). In the first place, 3-year-olds are not babies, and children in preschool are not subjected to a long list of academics.
They are taught by experienced early childhood specialists who plan experiences that include cooperation, fun and sharing.
