Op-ed on Education

This was a persuasive article about a different way to approach the poverty in America. He porposed that instead of trying to fix the gaps that already exist between the lower and upper classes, more money should be spent on preventing such a gap. He believed thst America should porvide more money to early education programs for the less advantaged children of lower classes. He believed that this money should be put into educational programs such as Head Start to stop economic gaps before they happen.

I found the article very pursuasive mainly because of the logic that it propossed. If every child is given an equal opportunity to succeed, then logically there would be less of a divide between the country. Start young so that everyone is given the skills to be able to survive above the poverty line. He presented facts as well of how educational programs, such as Head Start, are already making a difference in lower classes. I hope that such programs are implicated soon in America to hopefully save our future generations.
