Universal Pre-K FOR ALL
« on: April 03, 2015, 01:37:58 pm »
Universal Pre-K FOR ALL

I discovered this colorful government banner hanging in the children's section of a 75-acre wooded park of athletic fields and maintained hiking trails located in a neighborhood on the upscale, southwestern shore of Staten Island--NYC's forgotten borough.



Parents using this park have money. And means. So, in an assumed free-market economy, why would free, government-provided, universal pre-k be offered where parents can ostensibly afford their own pre-K child care?

Fifteen-months ago, NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio made the customary campaign promise about fixing failing schools and his magic bullet proposal happened to be universal pre-K.

Well, here we are. At another government giveaway. No means testing--just taxpayer-provided, universal, early-developmental-stage, indoctrination.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Government care is non judgmental. What's it to you whether or not there's a father around?

I can see one. Taxpayer-funded.

“High quality” and city public education are two concepts that don't usually go together.

It's all a scheme to get kids into the public education system earlier and earlier, and (through basically requiring college degrees for almost any decent paying job) keeping them there later and later.
