Isn't educating your baby important?

[Funny Bug]

My son is 4 years old and just started Preschool. I think it's very important for mothers if they have the time to read to their baby before 4 years old and educate their baby before their baby turns 4 years old. My son knows how to write a lot of letters and knows how to read a few words and can write his name, his best friend's name, and daddy's name. I don't think my child is a genius, but I think educating your baby is an act of love and gives them a boost.
However, another mother I've become friends with who also has a 4 year old thinks that it's unnecessary to educate a baby before the age of 4 because she says her husband is a genius and her and her siblings never got educated before school age and they are smart and successful. I think there is no right or wrong on this topic. My opinion is that some kids need that boost. Not everyone's baby is born with a genius IQ or genius brain right!?
What is your opinion? What are most parents' opinion?
What about those inner city kids that don't get educated and they never get to go to college and barely graduate Highschool?
Is there a right or wrong on this topic or is it that every parent has a different opinion and parenting style?
my3sons- Did u read my question!? LOL!
my3sons- I love mothers who say "WTF" about nothing. LOL!

I think it's very important. In fact, I've read a lot about this subject and I strongly believe that the earlier you start educating, the better. Children learn best while they're very young, while their minds are still developing. I don't have any children yet, but when I do, I plan to take advantage of this and begin teaching them as soon as I can.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you i'm right though. I may be totally wrong. I know plenty of people who are intelligent and never had any sort of extra educational attention. So, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this question.
