“The federal government spent more than $7.9 billion on the program in 2012 alone to provide preschool services for nearly 1 million low-income Americans. There’s just one problem: It doesn’t work. As the 2010 Head Start Impact Study report notes, ‘the benefits of access to Head Start at age four are largely absent by 1st grade for the program population as a whole.’ Specifically, the language, literacy, math and school performance skills of the Head Start children all failed to improve. Since 1965, the federal government has spent $180 billion on Head Start.”
