I agree with this article that early education is the key to future success. It is unfortunate that children from low socioeconomic status are at disadvantage from the first day of school. Hopefully more early education programs can be implement in low socioeconomic area to avail a brighter future for children born into this status. I liked that there was also a parents groups that gave the parents a voice to speak up to teachers, because a lot of times parents who are uneducated feel that they can not talk to teacher about how there child is doing, because they feel inferior. And this disposition may be construed as the parents not caring about their child's education. I also agree with this quote,"Success in life depends at least as much on character skills, such as self-confidence and the ability to get along with peers, as it does on reading and math skills, experts say." I believe that a child's ability to read and complete math problems along with their classmates propels or hinders the growth of their self confidence and in turn their ability to communicate with others. Volunteering at a elementary school I have seen this first hand with a little boy who had trouble reading. He called himself dumb and gave up before he even start his work, because he knew that he wasn't a good reader. And when other kids would make fun of him he would get angry with them. Early education is key to success.
