3 Consequences and a Goal........

I am angry at the United States for being so negligent. How can we claim to be one of the greatest countries on earth and continue to neglect our children?
Next, I am so glad that there are many countries in this world are taking the time to properly educate their children without struggles, and teachers are supported by their administrations and the community. They are much further in becoming recognized as professionals.
Thirdly, the European Union recognizes the importance of early childhood education and care, especially in enhancing social cohesion by breaking the cycle of disadvantages and laying the foundation for lifelong learning as well as contributing to better educational outcomes. (Klein, 2012). And because of this and its outcome, our own country needs to look at this positive stride Europe is making and echo their systems so our children will have a fighting chance.

(This reference was received by me from my German contact. I asked her to find me a quote pertaining to what I was writing about, and this is the one she sent me that seemed appropriate to me.)

Oops! I almost forgot to include my goal!
Actually, my goal is two part. First to stay current on worldwide events in the early childhood field. And to stay current with the innovative Harlem Children's Zone. Secondly, to do everything within my power to make sure high quality early childhood education and care is accessible to all children.
