  • @SaraMead wonders why more #SchoolChoice supporters won't support universal Pre-K: #earlyed #edreform #
  • Mead wonders if some school choicers cynically oppose pre-k because they want to lower taxes/smaller gov. I'd say it has more to do with… #
  • the position of many conservative school choicers that government role in K-12 is a reality that won't be shifted (the goverment won't give #
  • back $528 billion). So you work with the reality in the best possible way by offering more choices, especially for poor children who have… #
  • none. But Pre-K isn't yet heavily subsidized by government outside of #Head Start. The cost of the government intervention beats the value #
  • that could come from a more-expanded government role in terms of higher standards/more options for poor children. While Mead many not agree #
  • with this point (and I'm more pro-government Pre-K than against), I can succinctly understand (and sympathise with) those arguments. Who #
  • hasn't wished the government would have stayed out of some areas? Think drug war/gay marriage as two of them. So why not want gov out of ed. #
  • Given low graduation rates, this is understandable. Short-sighted? Definitely. But understandable. #
