Beyond Sub-Prime Learning
November 7, 2014
They gave him a seashell: 'So you'll learn to love the water.' They opened a cage and let a bird go free: 'So you'll learn to love the air.' They gave him a geranium: 'So you'll learn to love the Earth.' And they gave him a little bottle sealed up tight. 'Don't ever, ever open it. So you'll learn to love mystery.'
-Eduardo Galeano

New America, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute, recently published an impressive policy brief on early education in the United States, "Beyond Subprime Learning: Accelerating Progress in Early Education." 

The opening of the report expresses its vision:

"We want America’s children to become life-long learners who are able to think critically and inventively, regulate their emotions and impulses, and make smart decisions by drawing upon a rich knowledge base about how the world works.  Realizing this goal begins with ensuring a seamless continuum of high-quality, easily accessible early education for all families.  Each year of their lives, children and their families should have the benefit of ascending a sturdy, well-lit staircase of development and learning rather than navigating disconnected and uneven platforms where they can easily fall through the cracks."

As long as the staircase is not a rigid set of scripted lessons I think this vision is great.
