Anna Johnson and Kate Tarrants etc. main point in their writing was to show that going to a child care center or going to early education when you are young will help you later on in life. It was proven in the tests they did that children who had to early education did better in school not matter if they were living in poverty or not. This is because they know how to socialize and were ahead of the game. The authors also are trying to show that if kids in poverty do early education or go to child care they will succeed more in school. They showed that this would help any ones education poor or rich.
According to Johnson and Tarrants etc. is that the “First five years of life, often referred to as early childhood, are critical for cognitive, social, and behavioral development” (82). I think they are trying to tell us that children that go to a child care or early education will have a better chance of succeeding in school compared to children that do not. Johnson and Tarrants etc. said that
“...children of less-educated mothers were less likely to be enrolled in an early childhood education program; although 70% of children whose mothers had graduated from college attended an early childhood education program, only 38% of children whose mothers had not graduated from high school were involved in such programs” (86).
I think they are trying to tell us that many kids whose parents are not as educated did not go to childcare and will struggle more in school. The last quote from Johnson and Tarrants etc. is “Head start suggests that low-income and minority children can make significant gains if in school readiness” (97). They are trying to tell us that if children in poverty go to a head start program they will do better in school.
I see this source building on the readings from earlier in the semester by adding detail about how families and children can succeed. This will add that children in poverty can get a education but are still going to struggle which was seen in the readings I read earlier in the semester. I feel like this will inspire the research I am doing because it is telling me that children in poverty can succeed but it needs to start when they are little. This relates to my essay by showing that education is a huge product in life this specifically looks at Friere and his “problem-posing education” (65). This relates to my research because these children have to be able to solve problems on their own without the help of their families or their parents have to go through and figure out what is best for their child. This is how the essay and research will relate.
I plan on using this source to answer the question I will be by giving details on how early head start and child care will help a chid in poverty with their education. This will also help be inspired by Frieres text on educatin and how it is important. The question will be contraindicated by this text because I have text that shows that children in poverty struggle but this is proving that if children are in a head start program or childcare it will not affect the childs wealth statues but make them more prepared for school.
This source came from Concordia University’s library and was found on the database. The authors are Anna Johnson, Kate Tarrant etc. and they are experts in their field because they go through and do research on education and poverty. This is a chapter out of the book and the chapter is called Early Childhood Education and Care: an Opportunity to Enhance the Lives of Poor Children.
This will connect to the other sources by showing how poverty does effect education just like the past ones I read. Though this one will have an argument conversation with the other ones because the authors are showing that children in poverty can still get a good education if the parents take advantage of child care and head start which will give the kids an advantage of children who do not do this. This will argue because everyone is saying that poverty effects education and this one is showing a positive outcome.
