2. Nobody wants to take away your PS / PK program. We just want to level the playing field for those kids entering the system later on, which I think WILL happen.

There is a level playing field -- live within a neighborhood school boundary of your choosing and you will gain a K seat by right when you reach that point.  Lots of families move over the summer to land inbounds for JKLM or other prefered elementary school options.[/quote]

Exactly.  And beyond that, you just have to live with how it is, since it's not going to change to support the parents who have options re: when their kids enter school.  Free Pre-S and Pre-K was set up to help kids who were entering behind to enter K ready and thriving in their learning.  NOT as a part time option for parents who could do private, could stay home, could do whatever.  It's great that you have choices, but "levelling the playing field" is the most absurd concept ever in this conversation.  The playing field has always been tilted in the favor of those with more money, more options, more school choices.  Good for those who have it, but do not start talking "levelling the playing field" when that levelling (taking away from full schoolday slots to provide part time slots for those who don't NEED full day slots) is not levelling anything.  It's further IMbalancing the playing field which - even with charters - is still pretty damn imbalanced.[/quote]
