Boston is the epicenter of the Left’s hopes for replacing the family with social workers. Where a statewide program in Tennessee found that free public pre-K led to worse results for program participants, a citywide program in Boston found the opposite.

There are many reasons why the two studies had such different results, but one of them may be that Massachusetts has some of the most expensive daycare prices in the country. The average cost to place an infant in daycare in Massachusetts is $20,000 a year.
