This would be something really helpful for the Tea Party to do....It would be good to get access to this man's documentation, and visit ALL Head Start and pre kindergarten programs to let the leaders of those groups know of this research, and that many people are looking for improvement in this age group and the programs.

Or better yet, give out flyers to ALL the parents who attend various programs for the children....Perhaps they would want to see how their kids compare to those who don't go to government funded preschool programs, and also how the kids compare to those who are home-schooled.

The American public should have nothing to fear from the president's scaremongering. Rigorous scientific evidence demonstrates that children participating in Head Start perform no better in academic achievement than similar children excluded from participating in the program. Thus, reducing funding or even eliminating the ineffective Head Start program will not harm children. In fact, the Obama administration appears to be delaying the release of a long overdue evaluation of the effectiveness of Head Start on third-grade outcomes.
