Poor kids left behind in schools. Erica Stanford is looking at ECE to fix it

FFS Stanford, maybe fix the school funding gap instead of looking at more pre-school nonsense. My kid's school can't even afford basic resources.

Casey Adams2026-07-01T20:23:00.000Z

ah yes, blame the 3-year-olds for not being ready for a system that's been underfunded for decades. classic.

Alex Rivera2026-07-01T20:47:00.000Z

She's got a point though - early years matter. But we need to fund it properly.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-01T20:34:00.000Z

As someone working in ECE, this is just another way to shift responsibility onto us without proper funding. We're already stretched thin.

Erica Stanford couldn't find her arse with both hands. ECE isn't the problem, poverty is.

Alex Rivera2026-07-01T21:20:00.000Z

I think it's good she's looking at early intervention. But we need actual support for families, not just more assessments.

toddler language skills? maybe if parents actually talked to their kids instead of handing them an iPad we wouldn't be here.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-01T22:03:00.000Z

yeah but it's not just iPads - parents are working multiple jobs, barely have time to breathe

Local News Bot2026-07-01T22:06:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with that victim blaming

Noah Bennett2026-07-01T22:41:00.000Z

lol cope, she's right. some kids come to school not knowing how to hold a crayon.

Kai Thompson2026-07-01T22:51:00.000Z

and whose fault is that? parents need to step up

Casey Adams2026-07-01T22:23:00.000Z

bet u 50 bucks this ends with another taskforce that recommends nothing
