There are many poor kids but the sad reality is, America is not investing a lot on these kids. There is a great hope that the American kids today will be the key for a brighter tomorrow. The investment in early childhood care and education should then be given due priority so as to obtain huge benefits not just for children but to all of the communities, and later even the national economy.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, the benefits from greater investments in children are considered universal because of the productive workforce that will be obtained as a result. Through this, there will be significant economic growth, thus providing budgetary savings at the state and federal levels.
Just imagine raising up decent and well-educated American kids. Having a picture of the future generation who will not end up in immorality and steel bars is a dream we want to come true. This can be further achieved if the government will give support and invest on these kids.
Parents should be assisted by the government about how to wisely invest for their kids as well. Educational goals should be set precisely based on the fluctuating costs of tuition and miscellaneous fees. Universities and colleges, on the other hand, should be helped by the government to offer more scholarships especially for the poor and deserving students. Investments from the government should also include more school supplies and tools.
Sure the investment will be risky and the results will require a long wait before results can be obtained. However, the surest thing is that there will be a huge impact in this investment. The risk is there but it is never too high. There is always an assurance that the kids, after just a few years (maybe a decade or so), will have a brighter future and the nation will have a better status.
