The good general has it wrong.   This two million is an easy cut.   He's cherry picking studies.  Of course the NEA wants more public education----because it will give them more dues paying members.  Current studies say starting a kid sooner in school has next to no impact.  The greatest impact to kids is having parents read to them from shortly after birth and on through school.  Blowing millions so a kid might be six months more advanced---before the other kid catches up , i is a waste of money. The greatest threat our kids face is being brought up by irresponsible parents . No amount of money can correct that.
