In kindergarten, students tested in 2023 were about 2 percentage points less likely to begin school at grade level in both math and reading, compared with 2019

2%....

Which is probably because they missed out on Pre-K and just highlights how our education system isnt enough anymore. If there's a real benefit to Pre-K (there is) then let's stop making it something that costs a bunch of money and is hard to get into.

Let's just make it part of the public school system

The difference in reading comprehension / writing skills between Kindergarteners who went to preschool and who did not is usually night and day imo.

We already did here in CA. My daughter will be in TK at a cost of $0 to me next year.
