The fact of the matter is that if you need free PK, you can get it at another school.  No, it won't be Janney, but [b]it shortchanges the children who are there for education (not just daycare)[/b] to have gigantic class sizes.  Pay for PreK or go get it free at some undesirable school and then come back for real school at K.[/quote]

If you think ECE is "just daycare" then you really don't understand ECE[/quote]

I understand ECE.  I just don't believe what DCPS provides across the board necessarily counts as ECE.

So, kick the ECE program out of Janney, which doesn't need it anyway.  [b]The parents can afford pre-school. [/b] (In case you've forgotten everybody paid for pre-school up until 5 or so years ago.  It's not a hardship.)  The actual school experience will improve, and if you desperately want the free Pre-K, then get into one of the dozens of Pre-K programs that go begging for students (even on the PG County flight-path!) and have your au pair drive her there.  It's only for a year, after all.[/quote]

Some people rent and are scraping together savings to buy. Some people spend ALL their money on housing to live in a good school district. You have no idea if this is true. It may be true that most people in the boundary can afford it, but it's silly and narrow-minded to say they all categorically can afford it. We know someone who almost rented at $2k/month apartment in boundary for Janney for this school year. They no longer have preschoolers, but they couldn't really afford preschool. [/quote]
