One only needs to look at the communication on Twitter done by certain sectors of society to realize that money going into education is a collosal waste.
I’m not certain what the answer is, but pumping $15,000 a year per student into these soon to be felons, welfare queens, or drug pushers is not helping.
Perhaps they could have kids learn some trade like welding, instead of traditional education.

On average, Miami-Dade paid its Head Start teachers $76,860 in salary and fringe benefits in 2011 . . .I'm wondering if that is for 9 months of work. Even for 12, it is way too much even with the familiar "Public schools must accept everyone" argument.
Just how many gang bangers do you have among the pre-school set?

One granddaughter went to Head Start. When she started, she knew her colors, ABCs, could count to twenty, and was doing some basic addition.
After being repeatedly informed that she couldn't know all that, they dumbed her back to their idea of what she should know according to them.
None of my other grandkids ever went to Head Start, and she recovered.

Head Start has become a direct funnel of taxpayer money to public employee unions. Time to bust this racket. RICO?

My sister in law works for headstart in PA. The only positive I claim is that she used to be a bleeding hear liberal. She still is, but her eyes have been opened up to the welfare and unemployment scam. She used to think that those families needed all that money and support. Now she gets upset b/c it is abused. Which is exactly what I say happens. But now she got to see it first hand.

When I started school, (1951-1952), I was 6 years old, my little town didn’t even have kindergarten and I somehow managed to struggle through life with some degree of success.

Head Start was created in 1964 as part of President Lyndon Johnsons Great Society campaign. Ie. the "let us be poor in a gulag selfblame selfhating society so as to fight poverty" system... typical liberal sicko mindset.

Head Start is yet another of the massive, trillion-dollar Black welfare complex, and I for one am SICK of it. We need to cut them off at the knees. I am sick of seeing EVERY SINGLE black female in my local grocery swipe their EBT card, while every white person PAYS for their groceries. Why are we putting up with this???
To: Kaslin
Study after study has shown that headstart is a waste of money and that by the 3rd grade there is no difference beteween headstart kids and kids who did not attend head start. Headstart is nothing but a way to give free babysitting to low income parents and to put more union teachers on the payroll.

There is no
empirical evidence that Headstart conveys any lasting benefit on students. The same cannot be said for teachers, unions and politicians.

It has been clear almost from the start that Head Start does nothing to accelerate the cognitive development of preschool kids--the purported reason for the program's existence. What this article reveals is the true purpose of the program--creating yet more jobs and an overpaid bureaucracy for the true believers of the Left.
