Do you think that the state should fund pre-kindergarten programs?

Asked at Java Break on September 29, 2004

“Yes. I definitely think they should. I'm going to school to be an elementary school teacher, and I don't think that there is enough focus on kids' education before they start school.”

“Yeah, I do think it's a good idea. I guess it used to be up to the parents to provide pre-kindergarten education. At such a young age there is so much room for development, every child should have that opportunity.”

“I would say no. We have so many money problems with education right now. I don't think the state should have to fund it”

“Absolutely. Many parents cannot afford to send their kids to a pre-kindergarten program.”
