Line of the Day
The Star-Ledger reported today about a study New Jersey completed that shows that children who attend public preschool fail kindergarten and first grade at a lower rate than those who do not.
Jeanette Rundquist wrote the article. In it she repeated the oft-used phrase that is totally false:
The study began in 2005-06 to look at the impact of preschool in the state’s so-called Abbott districts, where the state Supreme Court in 1999 mandated children be provided free, high-quality, full-day preschool.
Ms. Rundquist, there’s nothing free about about this program. You even reported that New Jersey spends $12,000 per student in the preschool program. How is that free?
