Washington - President Barack Obama is promising a “big push” for his proposal to provide pre-K for all 4-year-olds.
Obama says having the world’s best education system will help create jobs and boost the middle class, but it starts with early childhood education.
He said studies show that pre-kindergarten kids do better in school, are less likely to become teen parents and are more likely to attend college, have a job and form stable families.
Obama announced the proposal in his State of the Union address last week. Republicans have questioned the cost, which the White House has yet to reveal.
In an interview broadcast Friday with radio host Yolanda Adams, Obama says, quote, “we’re going to make a big push on that.”

Reb Yid,. perhaps you want to copy and paste your irrelevant in the pages of tomorrow as well. We do not as Torah jews belong to a guild that fronts the capacity for prolonged chagrin to stop our own development as a people of Hashem. This means that if you scratch your own back to be your own best man, you might just lose the competition. And we do a good job as Americans dignifying the future by allowing the suffering souls to prosper at a better than previously done level today.
