More insanity from Hillary “I want to take that money” Clinton.

Will we soon be signing our kids over at birth?? How about kids just being kids.

My little girl wasn't in the public school for a week when she came home and said that her teacher doesn't make a lot of money.

The next year...Catholic school and a fine education!!

Schools in NJ are funded with property taxes.

If you want to send your kid to pre-K, pay for it. Don’t take it from me.

To be eligible for the matching funds, states would have to...use some standard curricula.

I can just imagine what that would include!

Supporters of universal pre-K and other early-childhood programs often point to the growing evidence that young children develop cognitive skills well before school age. Indeed, study after study has shown that by the time they get to kindergarten, kids from families that don’t provide education at home can’t catch up with peers whose parents, say, read a book to them every day from infancy.

while i support early intervention, i think the children might be better served if this support was directed at them and their families before they start school and even after they start school during all the hours they are home. they don't necessarily need to be snatched out of their homes earlier and earlier. many need less time in front of a t.v. and more time with an adult who reads to them and spends time with them.

Pre-K is like Day Care for women running day care .

Women who work pay the Day care provider then the day care provider gets to unload the kids on the school system via Pre-K. What a racket.

Bump for later. Don’t want to miss this one. ;)

It should not come as a surprise to many that Hillary, having been a wonderful and nurturning mother, should devote her tremendous talents to causes that are all 'about the children.'

Her large communist heart beats loud and clear when it comes to our little darlings. She wants us to give our children to the state schools at age 4. If America is stupid enough to throw this country down the sewer and elect her president that age will be lowered to 3.

I wonder what little Chelsee is doing now? Hopefully not barfing up booze in the back of a taxi somewhere.

If you want to put Federal money into pre-school education, why not a voucher system? Then parents could choose which schools their children attend. Maybe their own church, a Montessori, or a Waldorf school.

How did we ever win WW1 and WW2 with all those non pre-kindergarten trained soldiers, sailors and marines? Is that why we can’t even secure our own borders now...because of the enlightened wusses created in the last couple of generations? Total crapola!

We already have the voluntary Georgia Pre-K program, and here in N. Fulton county, at least, it is extremely popular. It is difficult to get space in the Pre-K of your choice if you don’t sign up very early. For instance, my sisterinlaw went to sign my nephew up at two locations near home, back in February. She only managed to get him on the waiting lists for both of them, she is spot #2 on her second choice school list, and spot #6 on the first choice. I believe that the families in this area are of a mind that enrolling the children in this program will give them a leg up on the other children in kindergarten, I know that is my SIL’s motivation.

The downside of the pre-k program is that once the children are enrolled, they must stay enrolled in school until they are graduated from high school, they attend school the same number of days and hours as the other public school children and are subject to the same rules as far as attendance (i.e. no more than three days per year absence without a doctor’s note), etc. A typical pre-k requires that the 4 year olds be at school at 7:00 AM until 2:00 PM M-F.

Hillary indoctrination for tots. I thought she already had something called “hillary’s royal children”.

[ridesthemiles]

Hillary has been sleeping TOOOOO close to Meathead...

There just is no end of “Programs” that the Dimwits want to start with taxpayer funds.

How long will it be before you just birth your kid in a state-run hospital and spend 24 hours with your “child” and the state just takes it from you, never to be seen again????
