[quote=Anonymous]I think that posters on this board also forget that for the most part, we are not the people for whom free preschool was created. Free preschool programming is (to my understanding) intended to help close the achievement gap between the children of the majority of DCUM posters (like the poster who thinks that her $350,000/yr salary makes her middle class) and the children who come from poor families in potentially dangerous and damaging neighborhoods. Those are the schools that need to be improved. That a relatively small but vocal number of actual middle class and DCUM middle class got "shut out" of the 1-12 schools they wanted to send their 3-year-olds to instead of paying $800-1500/month for private preschool or daycare is not the actual problem here. I understand that it's frustrating, but the talk about how unfair this is pales in comparison to how unfair it is that some schools are so bad that no one - not Ms. $350k-is-middle-class or the low income family who lives across the street - will send their kids there.
