Children born into disadvantage are, by the time they start kindergarten, already at risk of dropping out of school, teen pregnancy, crime, and a lifetime of low-wage work. This is bad for all those born into disadvantage and bad for American society.Current social and education policies directed toward children focus on improving cognition, yet success in life requires more than smarts. Heckman calls for a refocus of social policy toward early childhood interventions designed to enhance both cognitive abilities and such non-cognitive skills as confidence and perseverance. This new focus on preschool intervention would emphasize improving the early environments of disadvantaged children and increasing the quality of parenting while respecting the primacy of the family and America's cultural diversity. Heckman shows that acting early has much greater positive economic and social impact than later interventions--which range from reduced pupil-teacher ratios to adult literacy programs to expenditures on police--that draw the most attention in the public policy debate. At a time when state and local budgets for early interventions are being cut, Heckman issues an urgent call for action and offers some practical steps for how to design and pay for new programs.The debate that follows delves deeply into some of the most fraught questions of our time: the sources of inequality, the role of schools in solving social problems, and how to invest public resources most effectively. Mike Rose, Geoffrey Canada, Charles Murray, Carol Dweck, Annette Lareau, and other prominent experts participate. 410 0$aBoston review book. 606 $aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation (Early childhood)$zUnited States 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation (Early childhood) 615 0$aEducational equalization 676 $a372.210973 700 $aHeckman$b James J$g(James Joseph)$0871842 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452659003321 996 $aGiving kids a fair chance$92170149 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01169nam 2200349 450 001 9910220147703321 005 20230803033515.0 010 $a0-8330-8299-X 035 $a(CKB)3360000000477291 035 $a(WaSeSS)IndRDA00120866 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000477291 100 $a20200607d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDoes it cost more to train residents or to replace them? $ea look at the costs and benefits of operating graduate medical education programs /$fBarbara O.
