[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see childcare as an extension of free K-12 that we already have. I personally think that free childcare would fix a lot of ills in society, namely in lower class and disadvantaged families. So many low income toddlers are set in front of TVs 24/7 with no interaction while their parents work. They start Kindergarten not knowing how to read and don't know their colors.

People keep focusing on college tuition in this election, but I think childcare is 1000x more important. I can't take out loans so that I can continue my career while my kid goes to daycare (stupid idea anyways) but loans to go to college were feasible. [/quote]

Agree completely PP.   Not everyone is college material but every child is material for good pre-school education. I would much rather give a child free daycare by a capable person who can teach them useful skills rather than tricking children into thinking that just because they get a free college education they are set for life.  
It would be much better if children were given a choice to not go to college but to good technical programs that train them to be HVAC techs, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, computer techs, caregivers, pre-school teachers, and the other skills that we still need but are not paid as well as they should be.

Give the child a good start and the rest follows.[/quote]
