[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion- but there should not be. PreK should be half day and housed at rec centers. The amount of time and energy that is poured into ECE is not equitable or fair to other grades. 
Love, 
Your 6 figure ECE teacher[/quote]

You mean love trolling bitter parent. Who benefited from PK.

Ps. My sped child needs pk, early intervention is key.

Refrain from being complete fools please people.[/quote]

No ma'am. I am not bitter or mean. I am an ECE teacher. General education ECE should not be housed in buildings that also educate 10 year olds. That it not bitter or mean. It is just how things should work. The scheme of roping white parents in for ECE clearly is not working- because you all leave. 
So yes, ECE should exist. At rec centers. No, that is not 'bitter' or 'mean'. It is a much more appropriate use of resources then paying people like me over $100,000 a year to watch 3 year olds sleep for 2 hours a day.
Also, your claim of needign early intervention. Got it. That is what strong start is, no?[/quote]

If you’re paying 100k$ per year for childcare for a3-year-old you should look into another arrangement. There are several daycares/preschools in the area where you could send your 3 year old for 1/5 of the cost.[/quote]

Public preschool is free....[/quote]

You’d still pay taxes either way. You may not understand but special needs, ELL, and at risk children benefit the most from PK. A daycare does not provide any kind of specialized service and on top of that it can be pricy.

It’s interesting that people think it’s ok for PK kids to go to daycare and pay by that same token you can pay for your K+ kid to go to private school, be homeschooled by a licensed teacher running a program, etc.

Just because K+ is legally mandated doesn’t mean you don’t have paid options too. [/quote]
