Read and comment on Part 1

To grow the middle class, expand the benefits of economic growth to all Americans, and leave the United States more competitive, President Biden’s American Families Plan will:

• Add at least four years of free education. Investing in education is a down payment on the future of America. As access to high school became more widely available at the turn of the 20th Century, it made us the best-educated and best-prepared nation in the world. But everyone knows that 13 years is not enough today. The American Families Plan will make transformational investments from early childhood to postsecondary education so that all children and young people are able to grow, learn, and gain the skills they need to succeed. It will provide universal, high quality preschool to all three- and four- year-olds. It will provide Americans two years of free community college. It will invest in making college more affordable for low- and middle-income students, including students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and institutions such as Hispanic-serving institutions, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs). And, it will invest in our teachers as well as our students, improving teacher training and support so that our schools become engines of growth at every level.

So, what are your thoughts? Will this, in your opinion, "... grow the middle class, expand the benefits of economic growth to all Americans, and leave the United States more competitive..."?

It appears that the intent is to lengthen the 12 years of schooling another 4 years and that is the "excuse" or reason to have taxpayers (business owners) pay for college. Is college the answer, or just what will these four extra years be in educating? We could certainly use more people in trades at this time than those with "head" knowledge. (I call this "hand" knowledge and "head" knowledge). 

Also, putting 3 and 4-year-olds in "school" takes the child out of daycare which will affect that industry reducing income for them but more importantly, will this give the government more time to "indoctrinate" or "educate"? Please present your thoughts. 

Is there anything I missed that you want to discuss?
