]]> Comment on Lack of Economic Mobility Adds Urgency to The Pre-K Debates by Investing for Today and Tomorrow: Early Learning in the Federal FY 2013 Budget Proposal « Preschool Matters… Today! http://preschoolmatters.org/2012/01/11/lack-of-economic-mobility-adds-urgency-to-the-pre-k-debates/#comment-3325 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:11:54 +0000 http://preschoolmatters.org/?p=1408#comment-3325 [...] It’s worth noting that a presidential budget proposal is, according to Birth to Thrive, just “the first move in a high-stakes game that will be complicated this year by presidential and congressional politics.” Considering the sharp partisan divisions seen in recent legislative battles, the pressure of the Budget Control Act to cut spending by $900 billion over 10 years, and the high-profile politics of an election year, it is hard to say exactly how much of this proposal will ever see funding. The great strength of the budget proposal, though, is to allow the president to lay out his priorities in greater detail than any speech or campaign ad could. Early education is clearly an administration priority, though perhaps not as high a priority as we would like.  All of us concerned about the future of America’s youngest learners must ensure that elected officials remember that high-quality early education programs are a good economic investment both short-term and in the future.

]]> Comment on What’s the Alternative to Spanking? by Srividhya http://preschoolmatters.org/2009/09/17/whats-the-alternative-to-spanking/#comment-3295 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:31:19 +0000 http://ideafactory.nieer.org/?p=120#comment-3295 I believe that spanking is harmful. Instead of spanking giving a choice to child is an effective alternative to spanking. That is if a child playing with food ask the child ‘would you like to stoping playing with food or like to leave a table’. If the child contiunes ask to leave the table and allow the child to return only when obeys. Like this we can give option to childrens.
