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.

I'm certain you're quite expert on the 100+ ECE programs throughout DCPS.  Give me a break  :roll: [/quote]

This is about tax-payers getting bilked, not about your feelings getting hurt.  If the promise of Head Start and Free PreK and ECE in DC were being fulfilled, then over 40% of DC school children wouldn't be reading and doing math below grade level.  Give ME a break.  And then give me my money back.   :roll: [/quote]

This has absolutely nothing to do with tax dollars.   Universal PK is no panacea but maybe that figure is is even worse without it.  When high quality like much of DC PK it provides great advantages over the alternatives for many families.  I don't think Janney's or any of upper NW PK should be a high priority, but it absolutely does make a difference.

Are you one of the hysterical fans of the Daily Caller writing screeds on the other threads?  Feel free to just go away.[/quote]

I think you nailed it ... the new proposed GOP platform specifically comes out against PK as a "government intrusion"![/quote]
