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.”

No, education should be free, up until College
No, it’s someone’s choice. They shouldn’t be forced
depends on family income
The government should have a program to support paying families to have their child go into good preschools, preschools should be funded by states.
Although most kids who attend preschool are better off doing well in their education, it should be up to the parent if they want to send them to preschool or not
I think that we as a whole underestamite kids I think that preschool could help children be more sucessfull in life
No, preschool is just that preschool, it is not required. the only reason people add there kids to this is most likely for babysitting.
not educated enough on the topic.
i don't really understand this one.
No, but provide an equal opportunity for everyone to have a chance to go to a universal pre-school.
Govt should find child care for families that work full time
No just send your kid to a normal preschool that wont be extremely mean to your child or just homeschool.
they should split the cost between government and parents
Yes and No. Heres why. Yes because since its a human right to get an education and technically because we are property to the government, they should pay for it. No because that will give the school system unilateral power over our childrens minds and lets be real, the government isnt to smart in that dept.
The federal and state governments should do everything in their power to fund Universal preschool.
Yes, but only to low-income children.
Only for the people who need it but can't afford it.
There should be no private or charter schools and the government should fund all public schools more so everyone has an even chance and gets to see equality within eachother and that no one is higher up than others.
yes, but people get to decide if you want to use it.
I don't really know much on this topic
Preschool is optional an not a need.
Somewhat yes somewhat no
No. Preschool is an unnecessary luxury, not a right, and should be optional for people who can afford to do so
Maybe but i dont think preschool is required.
Yes, I think parents should decide if they want to put their children in preschool
All preschools should get the right amount of money for the kids and supplies they need.
Federal and states, at some mix of responsibility
I don't have enough knowledge to answer this
N/A (Do not understand)
this is a states issue, not federal, and yes, pre school should be free and universal!
Yes but only for those with special needs
Make education fully public, and religion mandatory to be taught
Yes, but attendance should not Be mandated by the government.
More options then listed
It should be a parents decision to send their kid to preschool.
Yes in order for young parents to work and contribute to the community instead of living off all the tax payers.
For people who can not afford it
No, Whether or not a child attends preschool should be up to the parent
Should be an option, not required. Cost should be associated with income of parents--on a sliding scale. If you make more, you pay more, if you make less, you pay less, or nothing.
for those who make under a certain amount of money
Only for Montessori schools.
only the people who can't afford the private preschools
No. Education is a state issue per the 10th Amendment.
Don’t know about this
PRESCHOOL SHOULD BE FREE. (this answer was made by you.)
