Our kids tell the story of why preschool is a must is a column by Krista Ramsey who writes about lifestyle. In this column she talks about how preschool is underrated yet it is very essential to a young child's growth into education. She tries to persuade people that preschool doesn't just teach kids simple things such as the alphabet but it prepares them for kinder garden and gives them the experience they need to to excel in school.
In the column one of the best written lines in my opinion is "But if it was essential for your kids – if you watched it transform their lives and wouldn't have done without it – how can it be denied to children with so few resources, children who need it so desperately?" In this line Krista Ramsey is pointing out that children should not be denied the chance to go to preschool and to help them to grow. She uses hyphens to separate or list her thoughts and by doing so it makes a pause in between adding more impact or emphasis on her thoughts. She also talks about how the children desperately need it which makes you, after reading it almost feel guilty if you don't send your children to preschool because you are denying them something so important in life.
Krista Ramsey's style of writing is very oriented around society and big overlaying problems or debates. In one of her articles about phone usage and how it can damage your eyes she says. "But before parents claw back the iphones the experts say the problem may not lie in the technology itself, but the amount of time spent on it." In another article about how pro athletes dress she says "Whatever the score of the game they both look like winners." and in the article about the preschool she says. "And numbers do matter. It's just that children matter more." If I could ask Krista Ramsey three questions I would ask her how she comes up with what to write, what inspired her to become a writer and how long does she spend on a piece before its published?
