Universal preschool is a proposal that would use funding from the federal government to provide school to children before they reach Kindergarten. In the current U.S. public education system government funded school is guaranteed to all children from kindergarten to 12th grade. number of U.S. states use state tax revenue to fund part-time and full-time preschool for children between the ages of 3 and 5. Half of the states that offer pre-K programs limit enrollment to low-income children. Proponents that preschool is too expensive for most American families and according to The Chicago Child-Parent Center's Longitudinal Study children who attend preschool found on average that children make significant gains in cognitive, language and early math and reading skills. Opponents point to a 2005 study done by the RAND Corp. which showed “no significant impacts in education – in the short or long term.”

Yes but only for low income individuals and they need proof that they actually need it

Our area currently has pre k.
Yes schools that are controlled by The state should be paid for by The Government and their employees should be paid for as well.
Private Schools are different as their more like businesses so the people running them should earn money the business way with only receiving access to Government money if actually needed. Though The Government can pay these private schools if they need the money this doesn’t give The Government control or ownership over these private schools or the education choices. That should be a choice by The Head & Staff, The Parents & Kids.
Yes, if the States request it; The Fed can agree to each a State if the budget THEY allocate towards preschool.
preschool is not really a big deal
Yes, but give parents the option of whether or not to enroll their kids in preschool.
Only for people to need the money and can’t afford to send their children to preschool
Big question no quick Answere
As long as the parent have the option to want thier kid to go to school
I mean sure but if feel the focus should be more on colleges.
Preschool-12th grade should be required by everyone and free for everyone.
It depends on where they are receiving the funds from
Yes, but large physical school establishments should be phased out and replaced with hybrid ones. Children who own computers and use them regularly perform significantly better in school in almost all aspects.
Preschool should be a parents choice.
There are programs and voucher systems already out there. Maybe reform some of the options that may not be working so that the system will run more efficient.
It should be the parents' decision to send their child to preschool. Also, the state and the federal government should partially fund preschool and offer aid for low-income families.
This should be state funded
i don't really what this one is about so i don't really have an opinion
Yes, but parent have a choice of enrolling them and must pay a % of cost
Yes, but the parents should have the option to start school later if they wish.
No, this should be controlled as most public K-12
Yes, but a study should be done to see how effective Universal preschool is. There seems to be conflicting evidence that it is effective.
it should be both not just one
No, decisions regarding funding “universal” programs should be developed at the state level.
the parents choice to send their kid to preschool
Yes, but the service should be offered on a sliding scale based on income.
no its not necessary
Yes but have the option for students to opt out without punishment or for the child to go to a private school or do homeschool.
For the last time i am 12 years old how would i know
It should be the parents choice to send their children to preschool.
It should be the parent's decision whether or not their child goes to preschool.
No, but it should be made subsidized for low income families so they still have access to it.
My opinion should not be considered
Yes, but this should be done at the state level, with the option to send a child to a private school.
If the family is not abusing the system.
50/50 with parents and gov
no, education should be funded and decisions made at the local level.
Yes, but it should be need based.
It may or not be a good idea, but it is something to look in to.
The government shouldn't be involved in the education system at all.
The state should fund this.
It should be available to parents to the course, but not made mandatory to attend
No, but families who pay for preschool get a tax break.
Yes, federal and state should provide funding and support for preschool and Primary Education
preschool dosen't matter that much
As long as parents can pick where they want to send their kids
Education should be controlled by the states, not the federal government.
Yes, as long S they do not control curriculum.
Universally available based on income.
If the government is going to require preschool to enter kindergarten than the government should provide preschool like they do all other public education.
