The Seattle Times editorial board urges state leaders to embrace a "3-to-23" vision that not only improves the K-12 system, but also gets children ready for kindergarten and ensures a college education is affordable. In Washington state, it is time to retire the term "K-12." That shorthand for the kindergarten through 12th-grade system is so 20th century. The 21st-century ideal of the state's role in educating citizens should be to start earlier and stay with it longer. The state should see its duty as helping to educate young people from ages 3 to 23.
