The Perfect Research
If I could do one research project, unrestricted, that would hopefully positively contribute to the well being of children and families, it would be to research the impact parents, teachers, and communities (doctors, politicians, economists, board of education, etc.) have on children and their development around the globe and in every level of SES.
All facets of and positions in the community would be involved in learning about early childhood development and the part they can play in promoting that healthy development. Society as a whole would learn and accept the impact they have and importance of their involvement in the education of children, one community at a time. We would also learn and accept that SES has everything to do with the quality and level of education children receive and make moves to change that and make education free to all children, no matter their status.
In a perfect world, this may be possible, but for now, we shall continue making steps in the direction toward raising awareness.
Hi Lemora!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading you post. I think this would be a very great research project. I think everyone should be entitled to a free education regardless of social class.

Quality education should be available to all children regardless of who they are or where they come from. Equality in education is a first step towards societal equality.
ReplyDeleteHi Lemora,
ReplyDeleteSocio-economic status is critical to the quality education children receive and the quality life they live in. There is such a huge disparity and your research would certainly provide information to help combat this issue.
