No surprise here. God,what a waste of money but lots of free child minding.
So: The NJ Supreme Court interprets this clause in the state constitution, “The Legislature shall provide for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of free public schools for the instruction of all the children in the State between the ages of five and eighteen years,” to mean that the state is obligated to fund pre-schooling for three and four year olds at a cost of $12,500 per pupil per year.
But if Head Start does not does not does not bloody well work, can we stop wasting our money and stripping the middle class and bankrupting ourselves??????
“Head Start, the most sacrosanct federal education program, doesn’t work. That’s the finding of a sophisticated study just released by President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services.”
and i stop reading right there.
does ‘Head Start’ work or doesn’t it?
i don’t know.
BUT, i HAVE LEARNED that anything/everything that comes from the likes of ‘President 0bama’s...whatever’ isn’t to be believed. if it comes from 0bama...it’s a lie.
what a shame.
That is, to fund pre-schooling for pupils in the poor districts.
In sum, $199 billion to discover “you can’t polish a turd.”
bump
So I’m sure the Dept of Ed or HHS or whoever administers the program will immediately end the funding...dont you think???/sarc.
NO, this topsy turvy Administration will probably double the funding!
Free daycare.
Oh now don’t be saying that what would those welfare Mom’s do if they had to take care of their kids 24/7! *sarcasm*
Bingo! We have a winner post number 2. Excellent work. I’ll bet it was easy.
Bill Bennett has been saying this for years. Guess he’s vindicated.
ROFL
Just another big waste of money.
More proof that government CANNOT take the place of decent parents.
but they have great intentions!
And DON”T YOU DARE propose cutting it!
/s
NO WAY
has anyone seen a school menue lately?
Your tax dollars at work.
“Oh, oh,” said Dick “this can’t be good for the NEA.”
“look Spot,” said Jane, the NEA and Dept of Education have been hiding these well-gnawed bones for years.”
“barf,” said Spot.
Head Start does not work. This has been known for decades. Any benefit demonstrated is temporary, a phenomenon known as "fade-out" in social science jargon.
Dick Cheney had the guts to vote against Head Start on grounds it was a flop. Almost no one else in Congress has demonstrated the same courage or principle. Consider it a permanent program; after all, making liberals feel good about themselves is more important than efficacious use of taxpayer funds.
