#3 Not all children are ready for even so informal a learning situation as preschool at that age, and it would be damaging to them to mandate such a thing. That's why even kindergarten is generally optional.

#4 This is a bullshit red herring. Education in the US is a state issue, not federal. The president has very little to do with it. Hillary is just blowing smoke out her ass by proposing things she would have no place delivering.

#7 "Clinton did not say how much universal pre-school would cost, or how she would pay for it. She said she will release details of her plan soon."

Clinton did not say how much universal Healthcare would cost, or how she would pay for it. She said she will release details of her plan soon.

Clinton did not say how much her Environmental strategy to reduce Greenhouse gasses would cost, or how she would pay for it. She said she will release details of her plan soon.

Clinton did not say how much her strategy to reduce dependence on foreign oil would cost, or how she would pay for it. She said she will release details of her plan soon.

Clinton did not say how much her every child will have a pony plan would cost, or how she would pay for it. She said she will release details of her plan soon.

Clinton did not say how much...

#8 Yep, there are federal programs like Headstart, etc., but the overwhelming majority of funding is at the local/state level as are school boards. The best (only?) thing Uncle Sam should do is mandate vouchers, IMHO.
