Whitmire interviews author David Kirp on pre-k movement, Q14

Question: You say that you don't want to end up with a No Preschooler Left Behind program. But, given policymakers continued focus on literacy and math skills, do you really want to take on this fight and oppose a No Child Left Behind's skill-and-drill approach in publicly-funded pre-k?

(From an interview by USA Today editorial writer Richard Whitmire with David Kirp, author of "The Sandbox Investment: The Preschool Movement and Kids-First Politics.")
