Roanoke Red Zone: The Case Against Governor Kaine’s Pre-K Program

Read this:

The current Pre-K program is plagued with problems. According to the Roanoke Times, schools are having difficulty filling the spots currently available–up to 1/3 are unfilled. Many school districts can’t afford to pay the local match required by the State. Others don’t have enough space for the kids.

Why on earth do we need to expand a program that is clearly not working very well as it is? Why do wealthy parents need a government subsidy to send their kids to pre-school? I can see it now–BMW’s lined up to drop 4 year olds off at a public school–give me a break.

Brandon Bell lays ’em out. Great post.
