Early Childhood Education Discrimination

The state Senate passed SB 115, the preschool bill, today but maybe they missed this piece from Dr. Karen Effram, a pediatrician, at campusreportonline.net:

No preschool program has shown academic benefit beyond the third grade. In addition, Georgia has spent over one billion dollars on universal pre-K and seen no improvement in test scores, and Oklahoma has lost ground on National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading test despite universal pre-K. no differences in test scores between those participating and those not participating, and both Georgia and Oklahoma, which also has universal pre-K were in the bottom 10 performers on gains in the fourth grade NAEP reading tests.


Not only is preschool a bad idea in taking children away from parents at an earlier age, numerous studies show it's a waste of time from the perspective of academic achievement.

Let's hope the House gets it right when it's their turn to vote...
