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.

Bill Bennett has been saying this for years. Guess he’s vindicated.

Wanna know a secret? Stanford Research Institute did a followup study on Head Start in the early seventies. They found way back then that Head Start washed out in a couple years. IOW, the gubbermint has known for about thirty seven years that Head Start is nothing but a costly jobs program for unskilled fat mammies.

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.

Proof is in the pudding. Since we started Head Start, (simply a feel good welfare program) academic achievement has declined across the board.

But that across the board decline is not simply Head Start. It is the the fact that at the same time Head Start began, the Federal Government inserted its very wide and totally incompetent ass into primary education -- setting rules, regulations, and kissing the ass of every educational union lobbyist and corrupt 'consultant' they could find as opposed to caring about education. (See Bill Ayres -- every illiterate we graduate is a victory for that rotten commie.)

Why should we be surprised that the system is screwed when a corrupt Congress and Federal bureaucracy try to dictate stuff they know nothing about.
