But not everyone will teach their at home kids, or thinks it is important.

That seems to be their problem. And a problem that free pre-school, or elementary school, or high school won't solve.

But you seem fine with letting the kids go without the pre school to punish the parents.

It's not about punishing the parents, or the kids. It's about assigning the responsibility where it belongs. I have my own burdens, I don't need someone else's.
I see you sent your kids to an expensive pre school. You said it was glorified baby sitting.

Then why did you do it? That seems a logical question.
When I am not on the road, I work from home. It was very helpful to have five free hours to work without a four year old in my lap.

And I look at my niece who is a year older than my son, she didn't go to pre-school and she is every bit as academically and socially developed as my son.

My niece and my son are best friends. But, on the surface they are very different. She's black, my son is white. My parents were divorced and we weren't well off financially growing up. Her dad (my best friend) was a gangster (crips). His parents are in their 70s/80s and are still together. My wife and her sister came from a family that is seriously dedicated to "the family". And that is the difference. Our kids are developmentally similar because of our exceptionally strong family. If you want to fix the problem, you need to identify the real problem rather than one data point that suggests that you can solve the problem by throwing some money at it.

And that's the real issue. Liberals are doing everything they can to destroy the one thing that solves so many of our problems. And when the symptoms get worse, liberals think they can throw some money at it and it will go away. And then you find out that throwing money at it doesn't fix it and your first response is "we didn't throw enough money at it, so we need to throw more money at it.
