Here's an education argument for just pre-school.
Kids are educated by their peers, sooner or later, usually sooner, so most of what parents and teachers try to do is just busywork. The one useful thing to do is to make peergroups transparent, so kids see what they are getting into. So one thing that educators can do (maybe the only thing they can do) is to make the self-revelation of each class member to the others easy, natural, constant, ongoing, and thorough.
