...<a href="http://www.wtop.com/289/3224208/Fact-check-Overreaching-in-State-of-Union-speech" rel="nofollow">FACT CHECK: Overreaching in State of Union speech</a><br /><br />As a teacher, I am particularly interested in this one:<br /><br /><i>OBAMA: "Study after study shows that the sooner a child begins learning, the better he or she does down the road. ... And for poor kids who need help the most, this lack of access to preschool education can shadow them for the rest of their lives. ... Every dollar we invest in high-quality early education can save more than $7 later on -- by boosting graduation rates, reducing teen pregnancy, even reducing violent crime."<br /><br />THE FACTS: Dozens of studies have shown Head Start graduates are more likely to complete high school than their at-risk peers who don't participate in the program. But a study last year by the Department of Health and Human Services that found big vocabulary and social development gains for at-risk students in pre-kindergarten programs also found those effects largely faded by the time pupils reached third grade. The report didn't explain why the kids saw a drop-off in performance or predict how they would fare as they aged.</i>Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-16550937666988316712013-02-13T03:18:33.189-06:002013-02-13T03:18:33.189-06:00Last night, I noted that CNN RELUCTANTLY broke awa...Last night, I noted that <i>CNN</i> <b>RELUCTANTLY</b> broke away from the Dorner story to cover the SOTU Address.

At what point do we measure him by his actions, not his words?<br /><br />In the wake of North Korea's nuke test I would choke if Obama were to stand up and tell us all how safe we are and why it's a good idea to cut back on defense to pay for more paybacks to his campaign contributors.Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-15421577061002337382013-02-12T19:00:15.858-06:002013-02-12T19:00:15.858-06:00The “State of the Union” sucks and I fully expect ...The “State of the Union” sucks and I fully expect the Obama’s State of the Union speech will suck, as well.
