Product Description
Diane Ravitch called Susan Ochshorn “a tireless advocate for children,” and her writing “brilliant.” In Squandering America’s Future, Ochshorn offers a pioneering guide to the big issues in contemporary early childhood policy. Written in a lively, personal style, the book drives home the importance of the earliest years for developing human capital―the nation’s future. Her “policy tales” highlight the abject failure of the United States to support parents and early educators, the nation’s real wealth producers, and will inspire a new generation of leadership. With her 360-degree view, Ochshorn boldly and clearly shows how early care and education is an issue of social justice that also impacts America’s ability to compete on the world stage.
Squandering America’s Future features:
- An irreverent, illuminating, firsthand account of the promise and perils of ECE’s ascendance to the top of the national policy agenda.
