My point is that with all of the materials and trained teachers and unbelieveable resources, the kids will still lag behind if the parents aren’t held repsonsible. To assume otherwise is acknowledging that the government can do a better job raising children than loving, caring children can.
Okay, I see your argument.
But I’m at the point in education where I say take any gains you can get, large or small, however you can get them. Some parents are not going to do the job. So let others do it. If the parents do the job, okay great.
I’m very cynical about our Education Establishment. If a job isn’t being done or is being done badly, they’ll sit back and let it stay that way. This being the history of Head Start related in the article.
