[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP who wrote that early intervention is the key.[/quote] We've spent 200 billion on Headstart with absolutely no lasting results. [/quote] There are research studies on IQ and academic performance that address the issue with Headstart. The primary problem is that for low SES children, the enrichment they receive in Headstart doesn't show lasting effects after elementary school as you stated. However, recent long-term studies on children that attend programs (e.g., Abecedarian program) that provide enrichment in the summer and through high school that mirror middle-class/high SES families provide outside of school do show lasting results for low SES children. Look at the work of Richard Nisbett et al. (2012) for example. [/quote]
