Occupy the Classroom
"Professor Deming found that critics were right that the Head Start advantage in test scores faded quickly. But, in other areas, perhaps more important ones, he found that Head Start had a significant long-term impact: the former Head Start participants are significantly less likely than siblings to repeat grades, to be diagnosed with a learning disability, or to suffer the kind of poor health associated with poverty."
About Me
- kys
- My name is Kaya Shah, and I grew up in Knoxville, TN, a city nestled in a valley of the Smokey Mountains. I moved to Boston to study physics and planetary science at MIT. After graduating, I researched pediatric HIV and TB diagnostics with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief at the Harvard School of Public Health. I received my M.D. from Loyola Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago. While at Stritch, I participated in a service trip to Fond-des-blancs, Haiti, six months after the 2010 earthquake. I am currently a resident in the anesthesiology residency program at Loyola University Medical Center. I remain interested in medical mission trips.

2 of my children attended Head Start. It was a great way to learn social skills to prepare them for school. I agree that it offered a lot of testing for delays that we able to be caught and corrected before entering elementary school.
