Keeping My Son Behind due to Spending Cuts… sigh.

With all the funding cuts in the schools now and forever, I think I am going to keep my son in pre-school an extra year. Otherwise he will be one of the youngest in class, and his teacher said he's borderline. He could benefit from staying, although, might not be unnecessary. Is it worth taking a risk at this point? How disadvantaged would he be if he is at the bottom of the class, in a system that's struggling to even provide for the best? 

This is so wrong. President Obama won the election, but the Republicans are obstructing, so the country does worse, and they can then blame the democrats for the difficulties we endure, just to gain power.
