[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dcps is free daycare vs learning for those people.[/quote]

That may be but guess what?  While some parents may not value the educational piece the way we'd like, guess what their kids are doing while they're there?  LEARNING, learning SOCIAL SKILLS, DISCIPLINE, flexing and stimulating their brains and hearts maybe a ton more than they would be if preschool/pre-k wasn't an option.

And that's the whole damn point actually.  Educating kids who either their parents don't value education or whose parents value it a ton but can't afford it if it's fee-based.  Where I work a lot of kids mainly come to summer camp just because they get breakfast and lunch - otherwise they might not eat more than one small Mel a day.  But while there... They get to learn and have fun as well.

So you can talk about "those people" all you want, but shame on any of you who would begrudge that child the education that public schools were implemented to provide, regardless of how their parent views it.[/quote]
