The federal government should provide funds/subsidies to ensure that all poor children attend pre-Sc

- In conclusion: [all of my above arguments stand] Firstly I want to say that I don't believe the economic status of a child has any bearing on how successful they are later in life. My mother's family of 12 children were deep below the poverty line for their entire childhood and now 11 of the 12 children have attended college and 9 of the 12 make over 100k a year so comparing "poor children" to "rich children" does not matter because early economic status does not set a child's destiny in stone. Also: following your logic that the government needs to help "poor" children and subsidize preschool for anyone who needs it, then the government should control every aspect of our lives. If you keep giving them power to get involved under the banner of "change" then soon we'll be completely controlled by the federal government. Contrary to what progressives believe we do not have to constantly keep changing to be a successful society. We can stay the same and still function as well or better than we currently are. We don't have to keep giving out programs or spending money to be successful. The country was perfectly fine without the introduction of preschool and it will continue to be fine if the federal government doesn't cough up millions of dollars to instate a universal system. Also: what does being poor have anything to do with behavior? All children should act the same because children don't know if they are poor or not. Children do not have the capacity to fully understand the world around them so economic status for preschool age children should mean absolutely nothing. No one has ever met a child worried about their tax bracket or their welfare status. It just doesn't click. The environment does play a factor yes but in preschool the environment for rich and poor children is the same. "One concern is that our findings reflect problems that families would face anyway when their children enter school; the universal childcare program simply hastened the day of reckoning." - Even if this quote is accurate and your commentary is true, why would we want to bring out behavior problems earlier than needed? We wouldn't. It's better to let kids be kids with out "hastening their day of reckoning". Thinking point: I have never seen a government agency pay for itself, ever. Every time a politician talks about universal preschool or Head Start it is always followed by the talks of tax hikes. You can say it pays for itself all you want but there is no evidence, none at all, that shows a government surplus. If there was there would be no taxes. The federal government doesn't fix or help anything. Every one of their programs is broken, broke or inefficient. Government preschool would be no different.Thinking point: based under your philosophy about poor children then they should be put in government preschool but that's not all, they should be taken from the moment of birth to a "nurturing" government run facility to live happily until a parent can provide. Following your philosophy all "poor" children should be taken away by the government and put into nurturing centers so they can receive a proper environment. But who are you to say poor kids deserve anything? And who are you to say that their environment isn't nurturing. I will say again Child Protective services exists for this purpose and we do not need subsidized schooling for "poor" children. Thinking point: class warfare needs to stop. Why point out continuously that the poor are poor? Why treat them specially? Let everyone live their lives free of interference and let everyone make of themselves what they will. Not everyone is equal, everyone has certain talents, skills and attributes that sets them apart. Not everyone should make the same money or have the same nurturing environment. In conclusion: subsidized preschool will not benefit kids. It will be an expensive waste of money used to further the federal governments control over individual people. Whether or not a child is poor has no bearing on preschools effectiveness, an effectiveness that has been called into question on more than one occasion. Results are clear about behavior problems in children attending preschool (rich or poor it doesn't matter). *** I urge the readers to review my previous set of arguments for they still stand. I urge the reader to think hard and think critically about the issue being debated. Will this really help? Can one year of government schooling really make as big of an impact as my adversary claims? Or are their other factors involved like I believe?Think critically. Use common sense.Thank you for a great debate.Fin
