expand and fully fund is Head Start. Of all the programs that President Johnson signed into law, this one has been extremely effective. It has proven that it can help all children begin with a better chance.
I wish they would find a few million dollars among the brazillions they are throwing around to fund it fully in all states, and expand it to include younger kids. If nothing else, it might give some kids a foundation they wouldn't have had before they are thrown into whatever educational system is coming.
It could be a lifeline for many.

1. Yes. And the school lunch/breakfast program. These and Head Start help kids directly. Long term. |
