Pre-kindergarten, of course, is unaffected by NCLB. But states are being pushed to spend more and more on publicly funded pre-school. They are doing so partly because these investments will close achievement gaps between rich and poor, white and non-white. Your point is well-taken. Disadvantaged kids are well-served by high quality programs. Middle-class kids, whose parents struggle to pay for high-quality pre-school, will be aided as well. But it’s unlikely the rich will give up their current bastions of privilege to let their kids mix with those destined to serve their every need and want.
