Since 1966, the federal Head Start program has allocated over $240 billion toward early education and anti-poverty initiatives for children up to age five. However, evaluations reveal that any academic gains for participants dissipate by the end of first grade and vanish by third grade. Additionally, some studies indicate no improvement in high school or college completion rates, with some outcomes deteriorating. When the Trump administration proposed a $12.2 billion cut to Head Start funding, it was a welcome consideration. Yet, under pressure from supporters, the administration reversed this decision, undermining taxpayer interests in evaluating effective anti-poverty strategies. #HeadStart #program #poverty #children #families #Trump #chuckpointwalker #tonto #monk #chad #todd https://www.city-journal.org/article/head-start-trump-funding?utm_source=virtuous&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cjdaily&vcrmeid=r4gDvOqtIEKC86XNknDWg&vcrmiid=Os4d1nrKsE218NCTNZmHTw #rangerrick
