In New York City, 3,100 Kindergarteners Waitlisted, Up 1,000 From 2010

The New York Daily News reports that the number of kids waitlisted for kindergarten for this fall has increased by nearly 1000 from last year. More than 3,100 kindergartners have been placed on waitlists for their local schools, according to the data released by the city this Wednesday. This is shocking to me and I think that it just shows how all school should be funded equally. That way every kid has a chance to get the education that they want. Now in order for a child to go to a quality school they have to be put on the waiting list. Though this is based in New York City this happens all around the nation and it is something we should pay more attention to.
