According to a study:</p>

<p>It found children who did not attend the early ed program were 86 percent more likely to face a jail sentence by age 40 than the kids who did attend.</p>

<p>Wow! My 3-year old dodged a bullet there. Because both my wife and I work, we put our daughter in daycare a few days a week, and that seems to be the only thing stopping her from leading a life of crime. It couldn't possibly be that she has a stable home with two parents, otherwise, I'm sure WKAR would have mentioned that.</p>
<p>Keeping that state-funded childcare, people, lest the prisons fill up.<br />
