Until taking this class, I didn't know that Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the creation of Head Start. I like how his upbringing in a rural, poverty stricken area influenced his desire to bring about positive social change. Also, I like the quotes that you chose from Marian Wright Edelman so much that they might find their way onto my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are such good quotes to live by. Your quote about parents forgetting they are the first experts is so important. So often parents forget and think that because they are not the teachers, that they do not know what is often best. I have to remind myself of this all of the time when dealing with my sons teachers. Thank you.
