[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Free full day preschool starting at 3. And not just for poor students. It’s better that poorer students have normal classmates too and not just only poor classmates.

My kids are in a title one school (almost completely Hispanic, not AA if that matters. Different populations need different things) and the majority of her poor classmates didn’t go to preschool. They sat at home with grandma or an aunt watching TV. Or went along with their parents to their jobs and were given an iPad. THIS is the achievement gap. Middle class kids are all in full day preschools. Upper class kids all have energetic and creative Nannies or SAHMs who take them to enriching activities daily. My kids only screen time prior to K was an iPad on airplanes or car rides longer than 4 hours. My kids own hundreds of books and were read to nightly from age 2 (before 2 they weren’t as good of sitters and were sung to).

Our title one school is interesting because it’s 1.5-2m sfhs, 800k townhouses and then one apartment complex where 75% of the kids come from. The difference is stark and it’s all what happened before 5. [/quote]

I think it’s also natural intelligence [/quote]
