Hi all,
In lieu of this thread, it might be interesting to see what Obama's "secretary of education" has proposed for children birth-preK. The new "LEARN" act has been described as Bush's educational policy on steroids. Here is section 9 of the act:
SEC. 9. SUBGRANTS TO ELIGIBLE ENTITIES IN SUPPORT OF BIRTH THROUGH KINDERGARTEN ENTRY LITERACY.
(e) Local Uses of Funds-
(1) IN GENERAL- An eligible entity that receives a subgrant under this section shall use the subgrant funds consistent with the plan proposed in subsection (c) to carry out the following activities:
(C) SCREENING ASSESSMENTS AND MEASURES- Acquiring, providing training for, and implementing screening assessments or other appropriate measures to determine whether children from birth through kindergarten entry are developing appropriate early language and literacy skills.
