I’ll be sure to let my daughter know that all her effort as a director at head start and the visible impact she observes just isn’t so. All that data they collect and report every year, just a waste. Investment in new and safer playground equipment a waste.
What would help head start enormously is the ability to hire teachers at something…

What would help head start enormously is the ability to hire teachers at something better than daycare wages…minimum wage.
Why do we persist at all these failed, wasteful things. Let’s just quit and let ‘somebody’ figure out something we could all feel good about spending tax dollars on.
Ummm.... public school teachers are not paid minimum wage. They do very, very well, including benefits. And if they have seniority under the irresponsible teacher-union-backed scale, they are quite wealthy and by then they don't need to work at all over the summer break.
My suggestion is privatization and a voucher system. Competition forces schools to focus on better outcomes for the students. Wealthy parents have options. Poor parents do not.
Please read about the failures in public education. As I keep saying, it's not that Head Start doesn't help - you seem determined to misread that - it's that with relatively recent changes in public education, exacerbated by the ill-advised COVID shutdown of the public school system (teacher's unions "won" at the expense of everyone there), things are so bad that even good policies like starting school a year earlier are leading to a shocking lack of even basic literacy in our most vulnerable populations.

Anybody here got a suggestion?
