Preschool Plan: Taxpayers Get Taken to the Cleaners

The latest in a series by Cindy Flakoll/Concerned Women for America on Governor Mike Rounds' preschool plan has been posted at dakotavoice.com. This installment points out that the bang for the buck just isn't there with preschool.

I'm also planning a piece on the preschool initiative in my Rapid City Journal column next week. It shouldn't just be a rehash of Cindy's research, as I've found there is a lot of information out there on preschool, it's effectiveness and it's detrimental effects on children (some of the architects of preschool point this out, as seen in Cindy's piece today).

I oppose it for reasons concerning family values, but I've found that the practical considerations are at least as substantial.
