Preschool for All (Prop 82)

This topic was brought up at my child's preschool yesterday. (It's a parent participation preschool, where the parent gets to be there with their child the whole time and interact with them.)
The mom and reacher were talking about how importanat it was that the mother be there to take care of her child, etc... But then to my surprise, they started talking about how important it was that every child be able to go have paid preschool. (Honestly, preschool doesn't cost that much, people.) The teacher thought that prop 82 would have made it so people could put their kids in preschool without feeling the need to put them in kindergarden too early.
That's when I said aren't we avoiding the real issues, Children should be home with their moms, not away from them. The teacher said so, herself. Why are we trying to bandage a problem and not trying to fix the real problem? Look, if we're going to put money into finding ways to make our children better, then why aren't we doing what's really good for them?
