Getting Ready for High School at Age 5 (Oregon)

In Ohio the governor doesn't want to make kids take more high school math until they've had a chance to attend preschool. In Oregon, state Supe Susan Castillo says she supports spending $65 million to bring fullday kindergarten to the schools with the most poor kids. (It'd cost $100 million for fullday K. statewide and she says she supports pre-K too but there's only so much money.) If you want to create more engineers, she writes in The Oregonian, "you need to introduce kids to math and science when they're 5 and 6." It'd be fun for a reporter to go to a kindergarten and write about those "college-prep" math and science lessons. link
