MinnPost From early ed to school safety: A look at the education issues Minnesota lawmakers are set to tackle in 2019 by Erin Hinrichs

Here is an interesting quote:
"Nelson favors a more targeted approach to allocating state dollars toward early learning, to ensure that students in need are identified and prioritized.
“As I’m talking with school officials from across the state, in our K-12 systems, the resources are already a bit thin. So we want to be careful about suddenly adding a whole nother grade of 4-year-olds, as opposed to targeting those resources to kids in need,” she said.
Given the findings of Early Childhood Programs audit presented by the state Office of the Legislative Auditor last year — which largely concluded that the early ed landscape is muddled by a mess of funding streams — Nelson says she’ll be seeking greater reassurance that the dollars the state invests in early learning programs are actually producing results."I wish they would do that for K-12 also... :-) Thoughts?

Are you kidding? You yourself want to blame every problem in the K-12 system on poor parenting, and Big Ed is happy to let you do that. And we've known how poorly K-12 performs for ages yet nothing is done about it, except for more money, which in turn buys DFL politicians, which in turn begets more money,... And we all know money doesn't matter.
While the DFL is off feeding that chimera and ignoring the damage it does, Republicans had the right idea of offering grants to poor parents for (usually private) pre-K education. Can't have that.
As always...
30% Public Education and Social Services
70% Parents and Community.
Where as you want to blame schools and ignore questionable parents.
While you want to perfect humanity first, and the education system later. Roosters don't lay golden eggs. Nothing in the DFL playbook wants ANY responsibility assigned to the schools, and ALL responsibility falling on the taxpayers for more money. Poor parents is just the excuse, and nothing is being done about that, either.
