When I was a kid in Ireland naíonra (play school, kindergarten) was entirely optional. Now there’s two years of naíonra offered free and there’s follow ups if your kids don’t attend. The only reason for this change is to get non-English speaking kids efficient enough to not hold everyone else back when they get into real school. The result has been a huge upsurge in demand for gaelscoileanna (schooling through the Irish language). We’re being forced back to our native tongue to separate us from the savage hordes - the natural regression to what’s right is naturally occurring perhaps.
