Disagree with USA on a couple of things....The child's parents do NOT have to have a high income, but income certainly helps. If only high income mattered, we wouldn't have America. Period. Most of the important things that have happened in our history, have happened because of a person's ATTITUDE, and WILL to learn. This is just one of many websites that talks about things of importance to our country, and some of the people who made it happen.

If the Government would stop taking money from people, then perhaps those people would have a bit more to contribute to their own families.

The poor get many opportunities that the middle class doesn't have or have opportunities to get, because their families are making "too much money to qualify" for much of anything.

Culture cramming" doesn't turn children into academic superstars, according to a long term U.S. Education Department study. For example, well-educated parents' children tend to read well, even if Mom and Dad don't read frequently to the tykes. USA Today summarizes what factors matter and or don't:

Matters: The child has highly educated parents.

Doesn't: The child regularly watches TV at home.

Matters: The child's parents have high income. [KLP says this doesn't matter, in the for whatever it's worth department....]

Doesn't: The child's mother didn't work between birth and kindergarten.

Matters: The child's parents speak English in the home.

Doesn't: The child's parents regularly take him to museums.

Matters: The child's mother was 30 or older at time of the child's birth.

Doesn't: The child attended Head Start.
