You have your head up your ward three butt. No one feels sorry for you nor does anyone choose to move to your neighborhood because of UPK. No, that’s my neighborhood over here in Ward 5. It’s absolutely a thing. |

More stand alone Prk programs. Vouchers for low & middle income families for private daycares that include a preschool program. Aftercare seats available for all pre-k (and elementary for that matter) students. Year round preschool - daycare programs for the breaks & summer if not doing academics all year at least for title 1 and low-middle income families. Another option would be having enough Prk DCPR summer & school break seats for everyone or at least title 1 schools and kids/families. Allowing families to miss 2-3 weeks of non- academic/ school days or opt out of 12 month program care without losing their seats. Perhaps having lottery for 12 month & 9 month kind of like when you select spanish or french or english program at a school |

You keep proving my point, despite your hostility. Many people don't really factor in UPK in Ward 3 because it in many respects isn't universal for people in that Ward. No one is asking for your sympathies and no one has said that PK isn't a bigger factor in other Wards (such as 5) where there is much greater access to the program. But, your evidence disdain for people in Ward 3 doesn't mean they aren't part of the city. |

Expand capacity at Ward 3 schools to a accommodate more pre-K? Hahahahahahaha. |

But not most of the rest of the region. And, there's a purality of schools back in the rest of the country but not a majority. |

Ward 3 parents needing free pre k think they are a voting bloc anyone cares about
I needed a laugh before bed. |

How did this thread turn into an argument about pre-k in ward 3? Sorry you can’t afford to live here but you should try to be less obsessed with us. Anyway, our kids won’t be in DCPS in the fall because we don’t trust DCPS to be fully open 5 days a week. We won’t be reflected in that 21% decline number because we were never in the lottery in the first place. |

| People are voting with their feet. We need more private schools. |

That’s not how this works but good luck. I hope the privates are raising their rates for new people because apparently they can. |

Universal means universal. For everyone, rich and poor. This is how we bring people together— universal programs. There’s a reason Social Security applies to Ward 3 as much as anywhere else — universal programs bring the country together. Don’t fight to take things you have too away from other people. |

You wish, closet Republican who hates DC. Instead, your party is hemorrhaging votes elsewhere as cities continue to grow and resist GOP anti-intellectualism and anti-democracy efforts. |

What part of "applications are down 21 percent" do you not understand? Not to point out the obvious, but it's DC that has banned children from going to school. Schools in the vast majority of the rest of the country are completely opened. In many red states, schools never closed during the pandemic. A child in Alabama is going to have a full year more of school than a same-aged child in DCPS. Which means your child is going to get smoked by that kid in Alabama when it comes time for standardized tests. |

Hahahahahahaha. The state with the worst education outcomes in the country is going to “smoke” kids on standardized tests here. I can’t wait. |
