Headstart is a joke in this county as well. I’ve read stuff about how by 3rd grade many kids that came from headstart programs are actually behind their classmates in reading level. I have no idea how factual that is, and I don’t remember where I read it, but from what I’ve seen of some 3rd graders, it’s not all that far fetched.
i just dont see how this program of adding more yrs of
time in school addresses the bigger issue. even school
aged kids spend far more time at home than in school.
i think kids would be better supported focusing on
supporting their familes.
