We have two franchised pre-schools. They are both funded. Initially by investment capital and bank loans, but now with client fees. Trust me, pre-schools are well-funded.

Is there any tuition? How do you get into them?

Of course there's tuition. That's where the funding comes from. Anyone who is willing to pay the tuition can get into them.

I thought you would answer in this manner.

I am not saying send them away to sleep over school. There is plenty of time to spend with the child after work and on weekends.

As for no need to grow more government- if growing education is a bad thing in the eyes of some than there is little hope for this nation.

He went on to say that he didn’t believe it was the mother’s place to teach children to read, but said that before women started working, there was a ‘loving, nurturing opportunity’ and both parents had a more time to devote to the family.


There's a lot of truth to what the Governor said. Ttaken in the context in which he made the remark ... I don't have a problem with it. I don't see why the remark needs highlighting here, but some people just love to create an "issue" when none exists.

Yeah so not all have access. Pre K and perhaps earlier should become part of our educational system.

How do you educate a room full of 8 month olds? Bad idea. More money has done nothing to make pupils smarter so automatically "growing education" is like putting water on an electrical fire. Also preschool advantages fade after a couple years.
