    1. Most of whom were black and lived with a single mother. The children in the control group were at home or in a lower-quality programs.

      This experiment data seems skewd because if they're taking data from single black mother's in one group so shouldnt thy be they taking data from a white married women? This study was in north carolina but the discrimination of single black women to others is outragous. The system that people of color are put into the stereotype of a single black mother.

    2. is now being championed by Ivanka Trump

      This seemed strange that Ivanka would support such a democratic ideal Discussion Question:Do you think with Ivanka support Trump would pass a bill avocating for affordable care for children under 5?

    3. President Trump's proposal, advanced by his daughter, would deduct the average cost of child care from parets income taxes and would include stay at home parents... Yet the aid he has propsed pales next to the actual cost of care.

      This proposal seems in line with the Trump we have know during the campagin. That he gives what seems to be effort in the child care system of any system and they the benefits he gives are bare to none.

      Discussion Question- How do you think other will see his bill proposal as? It seems to me that its just a mask to make him seem like a better president than he is, to hide away all of his bad qualities with a bill that wont cost him anything.

    4. One reason: It helps women work, while other policies help them take breaks from work

      "all women with children under age 18 was 70.5 percent, married mothers (67.9 percent) remained lower than the rate for mothers with other marital statuses (76.0 percent)" https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/famee.pdf

      I find it strange that married women are less employed than women who have children but are under a different marital status. I wonder if they counted being a stay at home mom and of not what are those few percentages off?

    5. slightly more years of schooling and an increased likelihood of living beyond 65- and thier children also got more education.

      This more education peice could be that thye were abled to adapt in different environments as they got older and were able to work with others better because they were surrounded by other children as they grew up. Along with thier children being more educated it is reflected because thier parents more than likely have education and could get thier children into high- quality school and programs like child care.

      Dicussion Question- Do you think thier is a stigma that if you're poor than you have childcare or if you're weathly you have childcare? What are some examples from media that you've seen?

    6. Boys are more sensitive to disadvantage and responsive to intervention

      This gives light on what we talked about in class with masculinity and how men have to hide their feelings to be a man. In these child care systems they are finding out that men seem to be more sensitve to others and are more than likely be abled to be themselves with others.

    7. Children from birth until age 35- found that high-quality care buring the earliest years can influence whether both mothers and children born into disadvantage lead more successful lives.

      My main question is what disadvantages? The low wages of the mothers? The possablility of being bullied for the children? the wording of this is off putting. Along with the high-quality care what does that constitute? A healthy enviornment where its clean? a safe environment where there is no bullying? a learning environment for the childs mind to grow? What if they werent in these conditions? Discussion Question- Have you or anyone else had an experance on a daycare that wasnt or was high-quality?

    8. Aid for high-quality care has the biggest economic payoff for parents and thier children

      As a child that grew up in a two working parent household it was crutical to my parents that i get taken care of and they make a sufficaint amount of income. In a two incomes no time most two household families have an income of $102,400, compared to $55,000 income if only the father was working (one thing i found off putting is that thier was no income with only the mother working) This amount of income is reflected by the long hours parents have to work.
