[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am PP and I NEVER said anything about ending the free public PK3 program- my only argument is that if the city finds it acceptable to subsidize daycare for its residents- then it would also be fitting that they in some way subsidize a parent staying home with that same toddler by providing a tax break for a parent to work less and stay home longer with their child. [/quote] It is not daycare. It is not a replacement or substitute for parents who would like to keep their children home. [b]It is school.[/b] It was originally called Head Start and was designed to increase school readiness for low-income families. Now it is available to any parent who would like to send their child in DC, including you. If you decide not to enroll your child in one of these programs, you are not entitled to an equivalent handout from the city. Your willful misuse of the term "subsized daycare" makes you look ignorant and entitled. [/quote]
