[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city doesn't give a college subsidy; the Feds do. That goes back to certain Congressfolk saying that DC doesn't need representation, because our city belongs to the whole nation and all of Congress represents us. So as a (very nice!) gesture, we get in-state undergraduate tuition at many state schools.[/quote] I recall this tied to not wanting to put in the money necessary to UDC to make it a viable state university. This option is the response to all of those complaints. Also, it is ridiculous to expect of ask for subsidy of preschool. If a family qualifies financially there is (and should be) daycare help available, but this is ridiculous. Preschool is not an entitlement, public school starting at age 5 for kindergarten is. DC provides much more than the vast majority of cities around the country in early childhood education. [/quote]
