A sort of pre-pre-Kindergarten

Posted By jake

State Rep. Stacey Campfield, not a fan in particular of the state-funded pre-K (views as free daycare on the sly) is proposing a requirement on the parents to obtain the state-funded pre-K: come to some classes yourself. The way Campfield sees it, the parents get their free daycare, and the state gets more involved parents.

On the one hand, the notion of getting parents more involved in their child’s school life is extremely appealing. Involved parents help make great schools. On the other, is there really any way for an outside force to stimulate (or even mandate) a more involved parent? Or do you see this proposal as a more cynical one, aimed at reducing the number of kids enrolled?
