    The legislature has already been tasked by the WA Supreme Court to "fully fund" public education. And now this brilliant legislator wants to add one more layer to an already bloated system by requiring toddlers 3-4 years old to enroll in preschool? If you can't "fully fund" the existing system, then don't add more layers!

    Leave the babies alone!

    A friend suggested the quickest way to comply with the Supreme Court would be to reduce the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction to one person (Randy Dorn currently) and distribute the money to every school district.

    There's talk of charter schools again. Great! But I read a suggestion by someone to just remove the barriers the legislature places on public schools instead of adding charter schools.

    Just an observation and rhetorical question: Why is it that the most reprehensible and liberty-eroding laws seem to come from Democrats?

     Some children age 3 are not even potty trained.  Now we want to force them to attend a state run institution?

    Let's call this what it really is.  Government sponsored day care.

    Next, we will be forced to leave them at the hospital, so that the state can take over immediately after birth.  If the state was so much better at this than it's citizens wouldn't DSHS have a better success rate.
