I...I appreciate your comments on education reform. I am currently an education student taking a critical pedagogy course. Several of the books we are reading also suggest that we need to address poverty first and then we will see improved performance in school. I am curious if you had considered adding to your school reform list what Diane Ravitch suggests in her book “Reign of Error”, good prenatal care for all pregnant women and high-quality early childhood education available to all children. The reason I ask is two-fold. First, I was surprised to see prenatal care on the list, as I was not sure how it fit with school solutions, but thought it was an excellent idea once I considered it. She argues that if women have good prenatal care then their babies will be healthier and in turn, the future students will have less health care issues. Therefore, they will not miss as much school. As for children who attend high-quality preschools, they are more prepared for kindergarten and a head start in their learning. <br /><br />Reference:<br />Ravitch, D., (2013).
