Biden says K-12 education isn't working — calls for free pre-K to "grade 14"

Will this help raise the amount of wages and benefit the economy overall though?

Childcare is extremely expensive and people don't get why both parents tend to be working in the household

I know people who payed 300-500$ a week.

The most shocking thing in this article is that 2 years of pre-K is double the cost of two years of college. That’s wild.

Im all for it though.

makes sense since the first 2 years of college are shyt status academically

He's basically saying pre-k and community college should be free, which it should.

Give me pre K for my sons

Man I can’t be mad at this. Imagine if we had this option like 20 years ago

Ngl if they go through with it, I'll sign up for 2 more years of education free. Gotta offer more than basic classes tho. Those only take you so far, depending on your career path/goals

But it's hella expensive....

Oh wait... no scratch that, it's almost free, my bad, I was thinking I was still in the U.S.

Man I can’t be mad at this. Imagine if we had this option like 20 years ago

that would be $32k back in me and my parents pockets.

$64K if you count my sis

Hmmmm...perhaps 2 free years of trade school after k-12, plus an elective or two (sociology, advanced history, etc). Im sure that they will offer a concentration of study for those two years that will go towards college credits.

Obama’s 3rd term

It’s gonna take what appears to be an old angry white man to actually put some reasonable policies in. Maybe he’ll bring this country into the year 2000

I highly doubt those 2 additional years will be anything specialized. It'll be just a free option if your going to school for anything other than a trade.

Which aint really bad I guess, but it also doesn't cut out universities....which im sure would have a problem with this.

...and I’m thinking the bolded is the major factor here.

Two years of college still ain’t gonna get folks much further than finishing HS;
hell - we’re almost to the point that a BS doesn’t hold as much weight. But universities
are BIG BIZ and politicians won’t dare shake that cage.
