Parents Now Expected to Need Loans For Kids' Preschool
LatestGreat idea alert! New York City mayoral candidate Christine Quinn would like to make education affordable to all, and thus wants to give upper middle class Manhattan parents the right to take out subsidized loans in order to pay for their children’s pre-kindergarten & oh my god what even is this dumb country we live in where people are essentially required to incur debt if they want their child to have any class mobility at all & JESUS CHRIST the blinking green light at the end of the Buchanan’s dock is actually the dream of pre-kindergarten & let’s all move to Canada & I give up.
According to the New York Observer, Quinn’s proposal would give Manhattan parents who make between $80,000 and $200,000 per year the opportunity to apply for up to $11,000 in loans to be applied to their pre-literate offspring’s all-important Block Stacking education. Because otherwise your kid will never go to Harvard and their life is RUINED.
Participants in the program would have to be of sound credit and meet other criteria as well. More from the Observer,
“Early childhood education is one of the most important investments a parent can make,” said Ms. Quinn in a statement about the program. “But too often, quality child care is out of reach for middle class families. The Middle Class Child Care Loan Initiative is a smart program that will help parents pay for child care and give New York City’s next generation a jump start on their education.”
