“DISINGENUOUS”

Even Republicans are ripping the latest move to strip testing accountability from private school voucher kids because they were UNDERPERFORMING. 🤔

What happened with SEEK in the final budget?

The budget passed by the House and Senate Thursday (FCCR below) increases the SEEK base per-pupil guarantee by less than 1% in 2027 and 3.6% in 2028. That leaves total SEEK funding 25% below 2008 levels after adjusting for inflation.

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

The General Assembly is passing the budget agreement today. Reflecting the lost revenue from recent income tax cuts, it cuts & freezes funding for most services and underfunds current Medicaid benefits by $691 million. The initial @KyPolicy analysis here: https://t.co/JI8DcJUVya

An example of why universal preschool is so important for districts of poverty and multiple languages.

[turing_hamster @turing_hamster]

one of the best gifts you can give your child is one of the simplest, and completely free (in terms of money)

the "30 Million Word Gap" study is one of the most cited pieces of research in early childhood education

researchers followed 42 families for 2.5 years, recording every word. by age 3, children in professional families had heard 45 million words. kids in poverty: 13 million

the ramifications are long-lasting. even at ages 9-10, the kids exposed to more words had stronger language skills, vocabulary, and reading comprehension

there is also a socioeconomic disparity here. the good news is, this may be solvable by simple talking more! the bad news is, it may be harder than it sounds. perhaps the disparity exists in the first place because low-SES parents focus more on making ends meet than talking to their kids

so to summarize — you should be talk-maxxing as much as you can! narrate your day, respond to their babbling, read to them. talking is all you need
