it tends to hold true as students age, but if you can't even agree that pre-schoolers deserve every opportunity then I think you're just being an ideologue for the sake of it. you're a smart enough guy, if you want to be opposed to something doesn't it behoove you to actually read up a bit on Head Start before denouncing it as a waste of public funds?

I didn't do pre-school. I grew up in a town of 3,000 people so we didn't have things like that. In our town, we went to kindergarten and the elementary. I got lucky in that I got taken to my grandmothers in the morning while my mother went to work. My grandmother made our breakfast for those years. I started fending for my own breakfast when I started 4th grade and went from there. In big city environments where something like that MIGHT be necessary, fine. I can see that having to happen (breakfast at school). I think that should be a local thing only. It would serve a community better based on its size instead of the state or federal gov mandating it.
