This is not news. The whole purpose of Head Start is to recruit low IQ children and keep them down. (It is illegal for Head Start programs to teach reading, in order to skim off the few resources available and fritter them away on meaningless feel-good activities.)
- protomyth 14y agoOh, bullsh - it is not illegal for Head Start to teach reading. Also, Head Start recruits on parental income level, not on a child's IQ.
- Daniel_Newby 14y agoHmmmm... It appears to have changed. I swear they used to be forbidden to spend money on things like phonics. Parental income is highly correlated with child IQ.
- protomyth 14y ago> Parental income is highly correlated with child IQ. I would need proof of that statement. I can see receiving a bad education, but they are not inherently stupid.

- Spooky23 14y agoDude, its nursery school.
- Daniel_Newby 14y agoYes, and five year olds in nursery school ought to be learning to read. In any event, it appears that these days they do teach reading.
