Reflection
I agree that there were many things left out in the reforms of the kindergarten education. Whereas it was a bad idea, it was an inevitable case because of the developments in the society. Fundamentally, an idea is right, or it may appear very practical as long as it offers a solution to the immediate social problem. However, with time, the initials social and economic dynamics forces the system to drop such idea(s) and adopt others that would cater to the needs of the evolved generations. As you mentioned, it is evident that the population increased, and teachers could not meet the demands of the children as the curriculum envisaged.
Response to question 1
I believe that to going back to the original state requires a change in the whole curriculum whereby parents would fully participate in the education of their children. Most parents tend to engage in economic activities such that they have little time for their children. As a result, there is a compromise in the social development of the children (Conger R., Schofield, conger J. and Neppl).
Response to question 2
Although attending school should go beyond academic success, bathing, and medical care is way out of the curriculum. Teachers do not have the prerequisite training to offer medical attention to the children. At the same time, the high number of children in the school prohibits the teachers from bathing them. A lot of time will go to drain if the teachers begin bathing the children.

Questions
Can parents in the current society participate in homeschool as it used to be?
