Education Reform by Edwards? Pre-K, Shouldn't we get K-12 right first

John Edwards made his "education reform" proposal. I find it hardly to be any kind of reform. He wants to create a universal Pre-K program funded and run by the federal goverment. Not only is this a blatant unconsitutional federal grab, but it also does nothing to fix an already broken K-12 system. This with the Edwards proposal you get no reform just more tax and spend and increase in the size of the government for the sake of government growth.
He also proposes to increase teacher pay in lower income areas. This will probably provide some benefit. But it is a band aid for a gushing wound. k-12 is broken not just in lower income areas but all areas. I expected more from a "reform" proposal and I think it just proves Edwards is not ready to lead.
