[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s beyond stupid to include PK3 not reaching the students it is intended to in any discussion involving WOTP PK3.[/quote]

I don't think OP meant WOTP students were the intended target group for the program - she wrote "this program might not be reaching the students it originally intended to reach now that these neighborhoods have gentrified". To me, that clearly means that the program is now serving a lot of gentrifiers who aren't any less affluent than people WOTP, which is true. Although I disagree with her idea that free Pre-K is the primary reason that lures gentrifiers into those neighborhoods, it has certainly helped lure affluent families into DCPS.

Maybe you should actually read before you call someone "beyond stupid".[/quote]

I think people's problem with that quote is that the program *is* still reaching the students it was originally intended for -- there are spots for them. housing gentrification is another issue, if families are being pushed out of DC, but all the 3 year olds do have the opportunity to go to PreK.
