New American Media, the California non-profit collaboration that provides news and commentary to ethnic-focused media and offers various services to help those outlets make money, has a Q&A with David Kirp, author of the pro-Universal Pre-Kindergarten book "The Sandbox Investment." The questioner mostly asks good questions but the premise of one is questionable. The questioner can't understand why the U.S. doesn't invest more in preschool because, as she says, "so many people in America go to college, so many more than in other countries, and education is stressed so much in this culture." It's true that Americans overall are more likely to have completed post-secondary education. But the trend on this is downward. Among 25-34 year-olds the U.S. is 17th among the countries that are part of the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development. Other nations are improving on this measure while the U.S. has been stagnant for many years.
