For a simple example my child is already reading, doing simple math, and problem solving. She is leagues ahead of public school students, of whom some are still barely counting to 20( a sample of my kids friends in the neighborhood). If you keep your standards low at just colors and letters then how do expect your child to compete in the world. Theres no reason children in 3k and 4k can't understand more complex concepts. Its all about early introduction and keeping your standard above colors and popsicle art. You need to put work in to get better results. And that goes for parents too. I have a day union day job and run a small business. Im exhausted everday and still make time to read to, teach concepts, and nurture my childrens minds. More effort needs to be put in especially when I see public school teachers dropping their own kids off at my kids school.

I've lived in NYC all my life. I agree that offering 3k programs is an awesome step and definitely benefits people. But I have higher standards for my childrens education and wellbeing at school. And NYC education system is still garbage. Being free isnt an excuse to have low standards for education and safety.

I have to disagree with you slightly. Due to you working with the actual TNR people your going to come into some bias and be approached mainly bu the people who support you and the program. The vast majority of people in any neighborhood (if polled correctly), overwhelmingly support releasing the cats elsewhere. Cats at the end of the day are an invasive species and also a vector species that transmit numerous diseases includong several outbreaks withing the NYC animal care centers that they cover up with the cdc on a yearly basis.
