[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the proposal more like SACC?  The OP makes it sound like a requirement for everyone.  It could be a slippery slope.  I can imagine that at some point everyone will be required to keep their kids in school for the extended time with the excuse that it isn’t fair some kids get to leave early.  It’s like what happened to kindergarten, and is beginning to happen to preschool.  I don’t agree with this, but I could see it happening.  My MC neighbors (many in the UMC+ category) complain about childcare costs all.the.time.  They’d totally advocate for a 10 hour for all program.[/quote]

Yep.

This is what I see happening.

It started out as optional full-day K and now it’s pretty much mandatory in most places.

They were advocating for universal preK in MoCo about two years ago and I could see them wanting to make that mandatory.  Even though recent studies have shown that the gains made in Head Start are not nearly as beneficial as people thought they would be.

Then we head down the road where the kids are stuck with a 10 hour mandatory school day.

No thanks.[/quote]
