But to progressives, academics, and their Dems representatives, facts and researches are to be picked and chosen. A more compelling narrative trumps everything else.
As long as they can get more government involved in every aspect of our lives, our children's lives. And more bureaucracies/more funding, of course.
And just how much will this boondoggle cost? Also, do parents really want their children held captive by the “educators” for even more years of their lives?
I don’t think Pre K is the issue, I think it is the quality of Pre K offered by the government. My children and grandchildren all attended Pre K at private schools. It gave them a chance to learn to socialize with other children.
No kid of MINE would ever be exposed to THAT horror.
No matter what the cost, I’d be home with him/her myself, before I’d ever let THEM near my child.
In addition, it means more income for the government. If a mother takes care of her children at home, those "services" are not taxable. Send the child to day-care or Pre-K, and the salaries of the staff are taxable. Nice example of one hand washing the other.
