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 610 $aEDUCATION/General 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/Public Policy & Law 615 0$aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation (Early childhood) 615 0$aEducational equalization 676 $a372.210973 700 $aHeckman$b James J$g(James Joseph),$01134986 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779402903321 996 $aGiving kids a fair chance$93838883 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01275nam2 22003011i 450 001 UON00450087 005 20231205105037.662 100 $a20150202d1955 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a||||Y ||||| 200 1 $aKarsakpay$fPrepared by the Army Map Service, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army 205 $aScale 1:1.000.000 210 $aEdition 2-AMS 215 $aWashington$cArmy Map Service, Corps of Engineers, 1955 311 $aCARTE ASIA 214$9UON00449791 461 0$1001UON00449791$12001 $aWorld (Asia)$1210 $a1:1.000 000$vNL 42 CARTE ASIA 214 606 $aASIA CENTRALE (KAZAKISTAN)$xCARTE GEOGRAFICHE$3UONC081293$2FI 620 $aUS$dWashington$3UONL000087 686 $aCARTE ASIA$cASIA - CARTE GEOGRAFICHE$2A 710 02$aArmy Map Service.
