Research Simulation General Topic to Subtopics: Part 2


Research Simulation General Topic to Subtopics: Part 2

I would like to learn more about the policy maker’s contribution when it comes to early childhood programs.  On a personal level I am interested in finding out how do policy makers come up with the criteria that would make someone eligible for assistance when it comes to the early educational programs.  I felt that myself and many other middle class citizens fall between the cracks too often.  Middle class families often run into the problem of making too much for assistance and not making enough to pay for quality early childhood programs.  I want to find a way that loosens up the guide lines so that more families will be eligible for assistance, however minimize fraud!!!
I find that the simulation process helps you stay focused on your topic of choice.  It teaches you the building steps and assist you in writing a paper that is based on true facts, and organization.

I am asking and hoping that my classmates will reference anything that is relevant to my topic of choice.  Things that supports a stronger middle class and resources that oppose it.  Most importantly the role that policy makers play in deciding who is eligible for something and who is not.

  1. Hi Sherry,

    What a fantastic research project. I really would like to know just how the people making up the policies come up with their reasoning behind the choices they make for our children. You are right about the middle class falling between the cracks because they make just over the line of acceptance.

  2. Sherry,

    My family has been, as many others have, a causality of just making enough to not qualify for any assistance with our early childhood schooling. I recall reading that early childhood is an area of the education system that is always on the list for programs to cut when there are budget cuts. In my eyes policymakers need to be educated on the reasons for early education and how it benefits school readiness.

  3. That is a very interesting topic. It would be great to see the background makings of childhood policies. It would be great to know the background of the people making the policies too. Any information I come across I will be sure to send your way.
