Re: Quinn and mandatory Kindergarten. Sound policy, good for children, good for families, good for New York. Let’s take it a step further, mandatory, free, full day public Pre-K. Parents city-wide, especially those living in poverty, have been begging for this desperately needed start for their at-risk children.
Let’s do better than good.
