‘I’m absolutely certain that some number of those people who are being lost were lost before they ever get out of third grade,’ Tillis said. ‘They didn’t have early childhood development opportunities. They didn’t have the core ability to read by third grade. They didn’t have the skills they needed to be educated past third grade.’”
This is from the same ignoramus who presided over a budget that slashes early childhood funding and transforms the state’s excellent pre-K program, More at Four from a free, education-based program into a fee-based childcare program.
