There needs be a change. Soon. As a parent to a 3-year-old I am dreading sending him to school due to the impending pressure and expectations that will be put on him. When will children allowed to be children? No wonder children aren’t potty trained and can’t listen or sit. They’re made to relentlessly learn under a specific style instead. We need to look at and learn from nations that have pushed early years educational ethos back to the age of 7. Let children learn at their pace, in their style, starting with the basics for as long as they need. https://lnkd.in/eyH8ffQA

Transforming Lives, One Snack at a Time 🌟 with DonorsChoose In the heart of the Bronx, a dedicated Pre-K teacher is on a mission to ensure that her bright, funny, and endlessly curious students can learn and grow without the distraction of hunger. At their Title 1 school, breakfast and lunch are provided, but the long stretch until the end of the day leaves growing kids hungry and less able to focus. This teacher is stepping up to fill the gap with a simple, yet profound initiative: providing afternoon snacks to her students. This is where we can all make a tangible difference. Just a small contribution can help ensure these young learners have the energy they need to thrive in their crucial developmental stage. It's more than just snacks; it's about giving these kids the best possible start in life, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

This biggest reason why people are poor is mostly due to inability to complete all 12-grade levels of basic education. Cities such as Memphis have a 50% rate of High School dropout adults with no diploma, no mastery of math, writing, language, or understanding of science. What should have happened for those adults was tutoring from the school. But they didn’t receive it. Are those former students still poor yes. Decades after ending a rocky education, they are still poor. The problem is not White peoples, it’s not the problem of a test labled by liberals as “White Tests”. It’s simply the fact that kids raised in households where a parent does not demand a child do the homework and the child doesn’t express the need of tutoring to the principal that the child receives a pass to exit school without fulfilling his/her own requirements in life. Teachers want too many days away from their desks. STOP GIVING IT TO THEM.
