435 Days until the 2020 election and 517 days until the Inauguration
Do you want to cut crime?
Easy.
It turns out that 20% of kids have dyslexia and have a hard to impossible time reading. The traditional ways of teaching reading do not work for them. If this is identified early and they are put in programs that address this, they can learn to read. Maybe not speed read, maybe not ferociously, but good enough to get by.
It turns out that the rate of dyslexia of criminals in prisons is over 50%.
Over fifty percent.
Many of the people who have become criminals can’t read!
It has been shown in study after study, and actual usage, that kids who go into kindergarten and pre-K programs are much better suited for school. They do better. These early education programs are the place to identify children who have problems with trying to read in the traditional way. If this was done, and they got the help they needed to learn to read, I’m guessing the rate of criminality would drop.
Pre-K programs are cheaper than prisons. Pre-K programs would ensure we had a better educated population. Better education is the key to success.
Hillary Clinton was all for pre-K programs.
So naturally …
In other news, the world is breathing a sigh of relief because our president didn’t completely blow up the G-7 talks. Naturally, no one really wanted to talk to him.What’s the point? He’s an idiot. Then Macron in a F-U move that stuck it to Trump invited the Iranian foreign minister to show up.
Nice.
