On a personal note, I must confess I burst out laughing when I first looked at this report. Thirty seven pages of front matter! Not only do they not understand the purpose of front matter, these people clearly have no concept of what is an executive summary. And they are teaching our children? (OMG!)

In summary, there were initial positive impacts from having access to Head Start, but by the end of 3rd grade there were very few impacts found for either cohort in any of the four domains of cognitive, social-emotional, health and parenting practices. The few impacts that were found did not show a clear pattern of favorable or unfavorable impacts for children.

In other words, Head Start is a boat*.
