  2. Head Start: Assessing what can't be measured

    Now that sequestration is upon us, our nation's leaders continue to debate which federal programs provide the best bang for the buck. When they ask how effective Head Start is, many legislators have cited the Head Start Impact Study. It concludes that although Head Start consistently closes the achievement gap and prepares many of America's poorest and neediest children for kindergarten, by third grade most children across the nation outperform and outscore children who attend Head Start. The main arguments regarding the study's conclusions have focused on where to affix responsibility for the "reopening" of the achievement gap: with Head Start or the elementary schools that Head Start children later attend.

  3. Sequestration is not the solution

    If Congress fails to deal with the looming threat of sequestration, March 1 will be devastating for millions of Americans.

  11. Does early education emphasis let kids be kids?

    <em>"Read your article about early education of our children and all I have to say is bunk. I am glad I at 80 years old am ready to leave this insane world. Next you and the people in this administration will want to strap learning tapes on the mother's stomach from the time she finds out she is pregnant. Children need time to play, laugh, use their imaginations, run, jump and not be organized 24-7. How much do you remember from kindergarten, probably not much, now go to learn earlier and you'll have less. As far as businesses are concerned let them educate their workers, not have robot kids from robot schools and organized education, from birth to adulthood. Give the kids a break."</em>
