>No, I'm calling for it to be cut. It doesn't work, and we can't afford it, so nuke it and go back to the drawing board. I would much rather see funds put into decreasing class size, putting music back in etc. Hell, if you want to have a daycare for lower classes like Ted indicated, just don't try and disguise it as an education program. Nope, don't try and disguise it as one- turn it into one! >If there is one woman that wants to work and can't afford to because she has kids, there are probably a bunch, and in close proximity too. Get 7 of them together and hand off the kids each day. If they really wanted to, they could find a way. But what if only three of them really want to find away, and the others are drug addicts or something? The three shouldn't have an opportunity? >My main issue though is the Gov doesn't want to cut headstart, or fix headstart. If that's the case, then he's wrong. >He wants an entirely new program for 4 year olds. If it's a good program, it's worth paying for. If it isn't, then you're right, either he shouldn't have it or it should be put into the hands of someone who can make it a good program. -Z
