Quote reblogged from Words Less Spoken with 1,314 notes

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.
J.D. Salinger (via buttcruncher)

Can pre-school save the US economy? Economist Timothy Bartik thinks it just might be possible.

From his TEDxMiamiUniversity talk:

I want to present a different idea for why investing in early childhood education makes sense as a public investment.

It’s a different idea because, usually, when people talk about early childhood programs, they talk about all the wonderful benefits for participants … better K-12 test skills, better adult earnings. And that’s all very important — but what I want to talk about is what preschool does for state economies, and for promoting state economic development. And that’s absolutely crucial, because if we’re going to get that increased investment in early childhood programs, we need to interest state governments in this.

If you look at the research evidence — that’s extensive — on how much early childhood programs affect the educational attainment, wages, and skills of former participants in pre-school as adults, and you take those known effects — you take how many of those folks will be expected to stick around the state’s local economy and not move out — and you take research on how much skills drive job creation, you will conclude from these three separate lines of research, that for every dollar invested in early childhood programs, the per capita earnings of state residents go up by $2.78. That’s a 3 to 1 return.

Now you can get much higher returns — of up to 16 to 1 — if you include anti-crime benefits; if you include benefits to former preschool participants that moved to some other state; but there’s a good reason for focusing on these $3 because this is salient and important to state legislators and state policymakers. And it’s the states who are going to have to act.
