[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't want free pre-k for all however, I fully support the idea of all K-3 classroom having a full-time paraeducator. I would even support the school week being cut from 5 days a week to 4 days a week to fund this. We would still be able to get to 180 school days somehow with the constraints of the Governor's order, the BOE just has to learn to make it work. Poorer school districts have gone from 5 day school weeks to 4 days school weeks. Although the links below says it hurts poorer demographics most of the school districts who have gone from 5 to 4 days also don't have quality free pre-k for poorer students. If MCPS were to keep the free pre-k for poorer families and implement a 4 day week with full-time paraeducators in classrooms the school data might soar with the student to teacher ratio.

I am not in favor of everyone gets free community college either because we cannot afford it.
