Story the other day in the New York Times on a hearing on child poverty and how to address it. Brookings child and family policy luminary Ron Haskins was there. So was Columbia’s Jane Knitzer, who co-authored the National Center on Child Poverty report on what pre-k programs should look like if they’re to help poor children catch up. The story also said the Democrats were likely to pass Head Start legislation. Ed Zigler told me the same thing the other day.
