What is "Universal Pre-K"? and Why is President Obama For It?

From the Editor
Thank you to all who participated in the 2013 strategy meeting (Harmony Picnic) for the family portal (www.sherleneonline.com). I have made several changes to the portal that improves your customer service experience.  Please note that most on-line changes will be completed by this August: keeping my promise of having the company 75% available on the Internet. I appreciate your cooperation during these revisions.

The New Monday Show
It was a very good lecture discussing details of productive family trees.  As you know, the company's logo is a tree image that has green leaves. Green leaves provide you an image of a strong and rooted tree. A tree with many rings, many years of leadership experience to become your next President :) Wouldn't you like to have a president that is bold? I am an aspiring political leader who will not shy away from challenging confrontations. If you do not immediately confront such challenges, members of these United States of America, they could blossom into causing damaging effects towards our goals of states' cooperation initiatives.

Let's talk What is "Universal Pre-K"? and Why is President Obama For It?

Universal pre-K is an education program targeting 3- to 5-year-olds and their parents.  President Obama's vision is to target all youngsters, in every state, regardless of family income, children's abilities, or other factors. Where States were picking up the tab on this initative, now the federal level can authorize funding and grants to each state. Before President Obama's plan, some states were picking and choosing who they desired in their education buildings: low income families or disadvantaged youth in communities. Other considerations have been teen parent(s), developmental delays, low birth weight, limited English proficiency, placement in foster care, a parent on active military duty, or family violence.

Sherlene, do I have to send my child to pre-K? No, parent(s), you do not.  You may want to check with your local state's requirements on the legal age required to participate in formal learning performances such as kindergarten, or home schooling.

Parents, how many of you would like to be told what to do every minute for four to eight hours, five days a week? That's is structured pre-K in most schools. So does it work? Yes, if you are trying to teach your child to be student-ready for more formal learning years; then, I suppose it would be a success in some form or fashion.
