well you DO NOT deserve KUDOS for doing what EVERY PARENT is supposed to do Jeshu!!!..and i do not agree that Head start was put in place for parents who look down upon and ignore academic achievement ON THE CONTRARY they wanted their children to have a HEAD START on academic achievement..... but unfortunately they have to WORK and didnt have the time to do it themselves... NO PROGRAM OR ENTITLEMENT will overcome OVERWORKED parents .. but at least with the kids in HEADSTART.. the parents wont have to QUIT their job n go on the public dole!!!! so ITS A GREAT PROGRAM if for only that reason........so u wanna try again?????
