But even supposing the “ultra-rich” would hold still while the state extracted a fixed yearly portion of their net worth, any plan for universal pre-K deserves skepticism — the opposite of what most news stories convey. ABC News, for example, contends, “The benefits of early child care have long been documented, even showing taxpayers can make money back when investing in high-quality early education.”
This is tendentious and wrong. The links ABC provided don’t even support its assertion. The first is to a National Education Association publication (hardly a neutral arbiter), citing one famous study of extremely high-quality day care, the Abecedarian Early Childhood Intervention Project. That program got good results, but it was utterly unrepresentative of most day cares in the U.S. It was generously funded and staffed by college graduates. Teachers read aloud to the children, responded to their questions and encouraged their abilities. According to a 2006 survey by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, only 9 percent of American preschools were rated “very high quality.”
The second link ABC provided also references the small unrepresentative Abecedarian program, but this paper, far from agreeing that the benefits of day care are “documented,” notes that the matter is “strongly contested.”

Native America’s hectoring Granny.
It’s nothing but government daycare with some indoctrination thrown in.
Training the children is too important task to be left in the hands of parents. The state must control children as young as possible.
Moon bat alert!
They want/need access to kids to keep (intelligent) parents from spanking them.
Ahhhh I remember the book The Nanny State. Cradle to grave, that is for the ones who make it into the cradle.
Uniforms are needed. Brown shirts and pants would be just fine.
I remember a young guy I worked with…first pay check he got he asked me, “who the h*ll is this FICA?!?!?!”
Oooohhhhhhhh.....
So now we’re requiring Paleface Lizzy to tell the truth, are we?
How’s she ever going to get elected doing that?
MANY studies have shown that any benefit of the Head Start are lost by the third grade.
If we just hung all the communist people who want to brainwash your kids...
Yeah, I think we stil have enough trees and lamplights to do it right.
Universal Preschool = Mandatory Preschool
Great communist idea. Lets start the indoctrination process as early as we can.
If the kids are going to go to government schools it actual start date doesn’t matter. They WILL own your kid.
It's re-elected, and she will be by the leftist/socialist/fascist/commies in her state. No doubt, unless she doesn't run.
She’s already our President?

It’s like I don’t know anything anymore.
Lieawatha will introduce a universal K-Y plan in the very near future. BOHICA.
