Ask anyone involved in this sham if they send their own kids to preschool programs. Will they mention the multi-million word gap between wealthy and poor kids entering school? Cato claims benefits of pre-school don't last. Of course if that is all we do they may not last. That's like saying that treating ill people with drugs and then taking them away means they get sick again.
Here are some quick links on the issue so there is not need to try to guess the outcome of the conference.Norman,I wanted to let you know about an upcoming Cato event happening on January 7th that I thought you might be interested in covering. The event centers around the debate over universal preschool education and features an excellent line-up of panelists including David J. Armor, Professor Emeritus of Public Policy, George Mason University, Deborah A. Phillips, Professor of Psychology, Georgetown University, Grover J. “Russ” Whitehurst, Director, Brown Center on Education Policy, Brookings Institution, and William T. Gormley, University Professor of Public Policy, Georgetown University. The event will be moderated by Cato scholar Neal P. McCluskey, Associate Director, Center for Educational Freedom, Cato Institute.For more details, please see the link below.
