Single-income family that sent a kid to all-day pre-k reporting in. We offered our kid the choice, and they enthusiastically opted for the all-day option.
I don't think it was really a hard choice, from their perspective. "Do you want to spend 3 hours having fun with friends every day, or 6 hours?" That's right up there with, "Would you rather have one cookie or two cookies?"
I'm disappointed that some people associate not working full time and raising/teaching your children as somehow oppressive. Having to commute and farting in an office chair all day seems more oppressive to me.
