Reports on Wednesday that the Ontario Liberals would cut before-and after-care in the new all-day kindergarten program had advocates for the idea of a "seamless day of early learning" up in arms. Premier Dalton McGuinty claimed yesterday there would be no disruption for parents and everything is going according to plan, but really, the biggest disruption of all was the completely thoughtless rollout of this extravagant, expensive, untested and unnecessary program to begin with.
Ideally, the entire program would be canned. Failing that, any decision to cut parts of it should be applauded as brave and necessary.
