No offense to your wife, but isn’t that the sort of thing parents should be teaching their kids? I spend a few minutes a day teaching my almost four year old to read and count. And she’s not exposed to bad influences or peer pressure. Instead she comes with me on errands, does chores, and talks to me about my work.

Why is the government interested in taking my place?

Most of the kids in my wife’s pre-k class were below the poverty line. Chances are that the parents of those kids are not highly educated themselves. I’m not interested in government hand-outs but I’m OK with hand-ups. It’s in our best interest to give all kids a chance.
