My wife’s pre-k students were learning their alphabet, colors, days of the week etc...

Isn't that what PARENTS are for?

I'm SURE that if PHYSICAL signs of child abuse is found on those children; your wife is REQUIRED to notify authorities.

Why isn't the lack of early training by parents ALSO considered child abuse?

We keep tending the cowbirds eggs and when they hatch, they push the legitimate nestlings out, thereby taking all the resources of the foster (foisted upon) nest builders.

Hey, I hear ya...
I won’t argue with the notion that parents should step up and take care of their child’s education. However, who gets punished in the end? It’s the kids.

I would love it if we fixed our K-12 system so that we wouldn’t have a need for pre-k. That’s just not a reality. My wife’s students were better off at the end of the year than they would have been if they hadn’t taken the pre-k program.

Side note: The Georgia Pre-k program is lottery-funded, just like the Hope Scholarship. I would like to see what Obama has in mind as far as funding pre-k on a national level.
