Musings of Erin

It is universally acknowledged that preschool plays a critical role in the educational and social development of children. proposed in his new state budget a provision that would grant all three and four year-olds access to preschool, regardless of income. While Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida currently offer pre-k to four year-olds, Illinois would become the first state to provide genuinely universal preschool in the country’s history.

Finally, we’re moving in the right direction.

I say we change the whole system to something like Belguim’s. There, all the funds for public education are attached to the student, and not the school. Therefore, if the school does a shitty job of educating students, the students leave to another school. If enough students leave, the school goes out of business.

What a novel idea, eh?
