Two things: Indoctrination and free child care.
Nothing like a dictator to control your childs destiny and future.
It’ll take that long for NYC kids to grow up to the mentality of a three year old.
Why not start as soon as the baby is born? Take it from the mother and put it in state-run nursery school to be taught by state-approved teachers. That way the babies won’t be taught any subversive thoughts by their parents, like religion or patriotism.
Hope the city can pay for all the disposable diapers they are going to need.
And I’ll bet teachers will refuse to change them.....so bring on the paras by the thousands. Cha-ching.
Around here (Midwest) HS serves both as a free baby sitter for unemployed, stay-at-home moms and free Nursery School!
I'm guessing Kaiser Wilhelm (deBlasio) is offering the "free" preK to the middle class to get them sucked into another welfare program they won't give up, ala Obamacare!
Cuomo (free college) and Wilhem (free pre-K) both playing Santa with everyone else’s money.
When the taxes go even higher, and they will, how much will that free stuff cost?
When employers are punished with higher taxes, fees, and regulations - and they will, how much will that free stuff cost?
Taxpayers providing baby sitters so the parent can get her crack high on undisturbed by the rugrats.
The Democrat party is now the wholly owned subsidiary of the teachers’ union.....
Why? It's documentably damaging to little children's emotional well-being to be separated from their mothers, and especially damaging to little boys, who get wounded in their ability to bond.
If they were in the care of their grandmas, aunts or mature older sisters --- or their dads --- it would be different, since family doesn't go through a staff turnover every couple of months.
But to entrust their hearts to caregivers -- as they do, passionately -- and then get shunted off by workforce mobility--
It's like day-orphanages. It's just not right. Unattached or poorly-attached little boys turn into the grade-scool hellions. Ask any teacher.
If you really have public funding you need to burn through, why not spend it by encouraging effective male family-wage employment, and marriage? (I know, just a dream...) which would free up good, attached mothers to make a happy home-life with their little ones.
Public policy should be about centering, not outsourcing, children's sense of belonging: strengthening --- not replacing --- the family.
