Yep, you read that right and it INFURIATES me!
Here is the link.

And if you read the above, you will notice that the sub-headline says, "One childcare center was given a grant of nearly $300,000, with only one student enrolled in the program."
Now, I am all for education, which I have stated quite clearly at least a hundred times before, I think.
But the idea of paying this much money just shows how society and public spending has become completely crazy, imo. When I was a kid in the 50's --
yeah, I know, here it comes, one of THOSE stories, 
-- I did not go to preschool, and neither did most of the kids in my working class neighborhood. For most of the kids of my generation, it was our mothers who taught us to know names of the colors and how to count and even the alphabet, and we had plenty of "art time" and socialization where we learned to get along with others.
The point is that with all the neglected/abused children who end up in foster care, I think this amount of money could be put to MUCH better use,
such as supporting those parents who are considered to be at risk for losing their children to foster care. And, btw, I do NOT approve of people having children that they cannot afford to support without government help, but I think that since people do make those choices, that taxpayer money could be spent in much better ways to actually help those parents and their children.
