Low income families get to send their children to Pre-K for free, Pre-k that is paid for by our tax dollars.
So since you make to much, it only makes sense that we have to pay for day care or private school instead. What an f'd up system.

"I guess my point of view is none of those programs, pre-k or whatever, have shown any educational benefit to children in any demographic."

That is incorrect. A number of studies show short-term to long-term benefits.

You're right. Some studies do show that SOME programs work better than others. Here's a quote from the American Enterprise Institute that says well what I think we need.

"Advance high-quality child care and volun�tary home visiting for disadvantaged children. Our current knowledge base does not justify a large expansion of pre-K as the best path forward. Instead, the leading science and strongest research indicate that advancing high-quality, educational child care and supporting parents in better ful�filling their role as their children�s �first teachers� are the most practical and promising avenues to help the children and families most in need. The growing pre-K push may well do more harm than good by diverting attention and scarce resources from other, more effective approaches.

School is an opportunity rather than a guaranteed outcome. People from all over the world come to our colleges and universities, so they must not be too bad.
