It is sad that taxpayers have to pay for promotional political studies. I am sure that Educrats and the study group had already planned the outcome of study even before one inch of effort was put into the study. I am sure that left wing media will overlook this fact and will be also promote this taxpayer paid-for advertisement. Yet, the same media will ignore the voluminous studies that show that there are no long term effects of all day kindergarten. In all the states that I have lived it seems every election year, the politicians say we must do some about education. And there is always some cute new idea that cost hundred of millions of dollars. But year after year, education gets worst. In the 1960's, students graduating high school demonstrated 12th grade skills. In today's world, we are lucky even if have teachers can demonstrate 5th grade level skills. We have so called“honor-roll” students that have to get remedial English and math course to gain acceptance into college. The time has come to stop implementing cute ideas and make fundamental changes to the eduction system. New money is not needed. Even after inflation, we are spending 10x's more then what was spent in the 1960's. The foundation of education is broken. It is time to destroyed the huge bureaucracy that dooms our kids to failure.
