Bad Idea: Universal Pre-K Schooling

[Taxcutter]

So, of course, Hussein Obama (the dummy-in-chief) is gung-ho for it.

http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2013/02/18/universal-preschool-is-bad-for-everyone/

quote:
“Women don’t want a preschool system.”

“Preschool does not help most kids”

“The idea that kids should learn to read, write, and add when they are very young has been thoroughly disproven (http://educationnext.org/much-too-early/)”

“…the rich don’t even bother with preschool (http://www.forbes.com/2008/05/15/wealth-education-parenting-biz-billies-cx_lm_0515richkids.html)—they know their kids will be fine without it.”

“…universal pre-K is a babysitting service.”

“This country is already an absolute mess because we funnel kids through an education system for fifteen years to get to a college system that is a ponzi scheme (http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2011/09/05/what-to-do-in-college-right-now/).”

“One of the largest education trends is middle class parents taking kids out of school.”

Taxcutter says:
What would you expect from a man as profoundly ignorant as Hussein Obama?

Head Start has proven to be an utter failure.

So I don't know why they want to continue down that road...

Head Start doesn't change outcomes.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you ...

" Forty years after it began, Head Start remains extremely popular, even though there have long been questions about whether it really does help poor children do better in school. Now the first phase of a large-scale study seems to confirm what critics have suspected for years..."

It's just a waste of money.

You can't beat the culture of poverty with a government program.

[Cigar]

I don't need to look up statistics or links to statistics ... I know first hand from people I actually know.

... and that's enough for me.

Nope. Blacks are still at the bottom.

There are millions of senors who are not in poverty now because of government programs ... you'd think after getting their ass handed to them twice in a row, The GOP would learn. But luckily for the Democrats ... The GOP is stubborn ans stupid ... exactly the way I like it, losing Elections.

I don't think he's a Republican either. Given your poor education it's not surprising you can't think in non-partisan terms.

You have to work and contribute to qualify for Social Security.

You fund yourself, and you don't even get a very good return. There was nothing stopping people from funding their own retirements. All SS does is babysit some of your own money.

That is a different thing. Thinking that free preschool is going to turn some ghetto kid into a scholar is just stupid.

Head Start is nearing 50 years in existence, and black students are just barely graduating at a 50%+ rate.

In 2013!!!

It will never work if parents are not their for the children. A waste of taxpayers money and just gives them free babysitting.
