Title: Keep Them Home Till They’re Out of Diapers!
Topic: Educating Toddlers

Discussed by Cathie Adams

Head Start was created in 1965 as part of Lyndon B. Johnson’s war on Poverty. So far, $150 BILLION dollars has been spent on this government program and has had little to no effect on cognitive, social, emotional, or health outcomes of the participants.

Obama now wishes to place every child from birth thru 3 years old in “early childhood education”, which is code for “daycare”. The studies conducted over the last nearly 50 years, however, do not prove any benefit past the third grade. Yes, for nearly 50 years we have paid for this craziness.

“The real difference between high-achieving and low-achieving children is whether or not they live in a traditional family with one mom and one dad,” says Cathie Adams. “A better formula for helping kids to achieve in school would be to stop giving financial handouts that operate as incentives to women to have babies without marriage.”

Is this just a perennial feminist demand for government-paid daycare?
