UNIVERSAL Pre-School - the answer to all of American education problems - is here! Watch for new buildings to be built around existing kindergarten and elementary schools. This is the new government plan to include 0-4 year olds in their compulsory education program. Yes, they are even planning on baby beds - check out the Head Start centers! It won't be long now!With the new Democratic congress the teacher's unions will be jumping up and down, twisting arms, buying votes to ram this through in every state. The New Freedom Initiative is rolling on like a steam roller for mental health screening for every child and teacher in the system. In the interim, Big Government will be strong-arming the private sector Class "A" day care centers and forcing the use of their buildings to get things rolling! The day care owners will have to use the government's Quality Rating System in order to keep their doors open for business. They say it is all voluntary but don't fall for all the flowery language. Unless day care owners comply with the new "rules" their parents won't get a new and larger tax break for child care! This is already on the books and Louisiana is the first state to use the tax system to implement its program. Other states use the lottery, the school system, or sin taxes to fund the program. What the poor unsuspecting parents and day care owners don't realize is that they will be paying higher taxes so they can get the tax "breaks"! The programs cost millions! Then when the Public School System has all of its new buildings in place they will start using their own certified teachers to fill the day care positions and the day care owners will be left hanging out to dry. Private day care will be for the wealthy few if they are there at all!
And by the way, these new government rules include letting the children in day care pretty much do what they want with no consequences for bad behavior. Big Brother will be constantly watching. Parent's poor kids will be allowed to run wild during the day. Can you imagine how wound up they will be when mom picks them up after a hard day's work, takes them home and tries to discipline them? Oh, and don't let your child "act up" at school because s/he might receive a "day care" mental screening and a diagnosis of ADHD and a prescription for a Ritalin "patch"! Check out the insert on the side effects of this bomb for yourself. Don't settle for the mental health professional's words of encouragement. Remind me - what kind of government is this again?
