I have read articles about these programs. Although Head Start makes sense as a symbolic matter, showing that perhaps the country cares about poor kids, the results are not there. In other words, Head Start does not really give kids a head start.

I had two children to benefit from Head Start.We lived in a deeply depressed area of Appalachia at the time. Head Start was in an old one room school house that the community proudly repaired & cleaned to ready it for the program. I cannot begin to describe the joy on children's faces when they discover the joy of learning. My daughter credits her Head Start experience with inspiring her to become a pre-school teacher.

Head Start works! Ask the families!
The best part of the reauthorization act is the elimination of the NRS. Millions of dollars and valuable teaching hours were wasted with this ridiculous assessment of preschool children.

Head start may not be perfect, but until we come up with something better, these children deserve to receive educational help that perhaps their parents are unable to provide for whatever reason.

As the mother of a teacher and the daughter of a school admin. I don't think we need to toss needed money after bad. The program would work if all the schools were equal but they are not. School do not get equal help, as my daughter just received her degree in 2006 and is subbing until a job comes open, she has seen classrooms where there are computers in the classroom to help the teacher with 15 students; to the urban schools where there are 32+ students and the text books are 5 year behind the started. Headstart is great if you have a program to follow and in 80% of school there is not. Let us stop and bring school standards up, stop saying it is the teacher or the staffs fault for being over worked and stressed and get them some hlep. Headstart is doomed before it starts, let us put education first in the schools again and help our educators by educating the next generation to learn and to teaching learning rather than self importance.
