They already have it “free” for those making 200 or less % of the poverty level, children raised by grandparents, foster parents or other relaives and children of military persons. Gawd I am glad this crap was not around when I grew up. I got to stay home until 1st grade (no kindergarden) and it was the most wonderful years of my life.
Regardless of the cost, my kids will be homeschooled by their mother and I.
There are ways to reduce the tax burden - too bad we have to jump through so many hoops in order to give our kids what we know is best for them.
My wife and I are considering a pre-school of our choosing for our kids so that having more close together would be a bit less difficult. When we finish having kids and they are all potty trained we *will* pull them all back into the home for education or more to a nation that allows us to do so.
