| Question 28.1 Click on this article http://www2.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/hsb/research/index.htm Peruse this site and the most
recent Head Start Statistical Fact Sheet.
Discuss the characteristics of those served by Head Start and the cost
of the program. What is the opportunity cost of this program? Question 28.2Click on this article http://www.brook.edu/dybdocroot/comm/childrensroundtable/issue5.pdf Comment on the statement in the opening text: “Although Head Start centers vary in quality,
on average they are better than privately-run child care centers, have achieved
short-term benefits, and would pay for themselves if they produced even a
fraction of the long-term benefits associated with model programs. For this
reason, they merit some expansion and greater attention paid to their quality.”
Is this throwing good money after bad
or does it mean that the current program doesn’t pay for itself because it is not good enough? |
