There is no sense in having 4 year-old children staying at home with their mothers when the mothers should have jobs and be paying taxes to the US gov.

That is what it is all about.

You are a slave for ObaMao. He could care less about you or your children.

I'm tired of paying for babysitters. Whatever happened to if you have rich parents you are likely to have more and better stuff. Of course the rich people will send their kids away to camps and preschools to get rid of them and in the process they get a jump start on the poor kids who have to learn at home.

How about letting kids be kids? The idea that sending a 4 year old to preschool is going to make him a brain surgeon is ludicrous.

Every moment a 4 year old is awake is a learning experience.

And we want Washington to enact another decree on education when our schools systems are failing most kids now? Gives Obuma reason to boost that he created more jobs I suppose.

From ‘cradle to grave’ with a few diaper changes and with seniors wearing depends would just add to the diaper brigade. Wash your hands of this one and especially after changing all those not so bio-degradable disposables.

If we are ever going to break this welfare dependency that lorexxx keeps harping on we need to have programs for this young kids to get all the breaks they can get to advance their knowledge and break this chain and reduce the gov't expenditure on the welfare programs in this country in the future.

It's also called taking away the play station and the video games. Teach the kids to be creative verses destructive. Also it's called having parents involed with the kids and not just let them just run wild. It all comes back to having a loving home raise kids that grow up and become our future leaders. How about takin most of the government out of the schools and put God back in. Now some of you go ahead and disagree with that

WORK,What in the world do you think is the problem now.Most families need two income earners just to make ends meat.You must live in the 60's.Pre school for the children would be a great idea if we have a plan and not like the failed plan no child left behind.The only group of people that dont care about our chidren are the same people that dont care about women,elderly,poor and it aint the President.Thats leaves the rich old white men and the stupid party.

Teaching a work etic I know is foreign to you, but a work ethic is a good thing. It seems that the libs are the ones who want the governement to provide cradle to grave care. It is the conservatives who want kids to be free to play and explore and develop their imagination without 24/7 adult supervison.

"Most families need two income earners just to make ends meat."

That ain't necessarily so, but it is something stated by both parties to validate spending for more programs to "help" the earners.

Appears that all the "poor" parents need to send their kids to H4C's Child Care Center for Conservative Programing. This will insure the parent will work and be independent of Govt. since his services would be as free as his speech is.

It's a proven fact that Education promotes tolerance which in turn reduces violence & bias's. Therfore reducing prejudicial views which can promote hatred. But, Education policies should be made at the state level.

Academics, intellectuals, and the highly educated overall constitute an important part of the Democratic voter base..(Wiki)

Those with graduate education, have become increasingly Democratic beginning in the 1992,[43] 1996,[43] 2000,[27] 2004,[28] and 2008[

"Those with postgraduate education, the closest proxy for professionals, backed Obama 55 to 42 percent in 2012. Their share of voters also went up, from 17 to 18 percent."

You need to get a grip on reality loco!

For every one of disgusted's liberal welfare people..I'll find you a so called conservative match and in some places I'll double the ante.

For every one of disgusted's entitlement candidates he sees as liberal...I'll again match his numbers with conservative slouchers.

There's no room to hide anymore loco and you can beat that hypocritical drum as loud as you want...You can get millions of people to walk around mumbling the same things about who works and who doesn't...Who get's this and who get's that and you know what? It's not going to change a thing!

The only way you and your idealists will ever have a chance is if you can stand on your own...Can yawl stand on your own?

When I sent my children to an early learning center, when I was working, I paid for it. Why this government expects us to cover everything for the people who can't find a job or won't find a job is just insane. Alot of people play this government's system everyday. From food stamps to housing to unemployment to workers comp. They know how to play it perfectly.

Furthermore loco, nothing pains me more than a statement from mules..

"You are a slave for ObaMao. He could care less about you or your children"

Who cares for mules...and how so? Who cares for you loco and why?

No surprise there's 8 pawns on the chessboard and only one Queen...or King.Without someone to do their fighting for them well, they'ld just be a man and for the man who said no more we have a government..

The same ones who curse at the monster would curse at the King, but which would you rather have?

The greedy want the pie..The politician wants a slice and the servants of both want their fork.

And to do 1st grade to graduation, I should have sent them to a private school. Public schooling really shoves their Liberal agenda's down those kids throats.

I see Missy is out and about proving one sentence at a time there were other priorities during her schooling all the while assuring the locals who sacrificed much to give all an education.

Proving what, Venitas? I paid my taxes for public schools. And they all got their educations. And one sentence at a time? Snarky aren't you? Pay your taxes, you should still be able to pick up your checks.

The topic was pre-school for 4 y/o, veratis. 4 years old. I was staying on topic. I doubt very much the schooling of 4 year olds will reduce violence.
