Now Taking
Notice!
Human
capital theory and monetary payoffs; keep these terms in mind. I do like the fact that science says that better
outcomes if investment is made in preschool, economists say there is a better
return if investments are made in preschool rather than waiting till school
years. What I am afraid of is children
will be treated as commodities to be traded in at maturation rather than
citizens that grow to nurture and care about our society. Educators we must
continue to keep our ears to the ground and be ready to correct any that dare
to the gift of childhood to make lifetime productivity the bottom line.
Insights About
Issues and Trends
On the
studies this week we were to look in to three sectors in the field of early
childhood field and see if policy is supporting
EC or seeking to take away from it. My research has found that there is
an affordability gap that touches many
families, The major issue according to National Women’s Law Center is that many
single parent households are headed by women. The quality and access to affordable
care is hard to come by. What can be done is to initiate strategies to get the
attention of congress persons to really take interest in this issue for policy
to embrace and assist what is really happening with today’s families as they
struggle with finding affordable early childcare .
We must let
our voices be heard!
Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI am about to embark on the journey of motherhood but I am so lucky to having a partner to share that journey with. I couldn't imagine the challenges and struggles that single parents' face. I agree that quality and access to affordable health care is difficult to come by. I believe that is magnified to struggling families and parents'. There should be programs available for families who need access to these services the most. Thank you for shedding light on a part of education that I believe often gets overlooked. Thanks!
