Her argument would have been stronger if she chose to observe classrooms using the same curriculum.

I agree that preschools are segregated and some of that can be attributed to funding and the premise behind why the program were created.

i still cannot get well the distinction between curriculum differences and poverty. some of her conclusion and claims could be explained by curriculum and approach

The author states "at Great Beginnings, teachers had more free time and attention to spare, and they used it to control and comment on kids' play" which I do agree with. However, I do not agree how the author then states "the Great Beginnings teachers also intermixed their belief in play-based learning..." I'd argue they do not understand play-based learning due to the amount of control they exert over children in play.

Segregation in preschool accounts for differences in preschool children experiences because children living in poverty, experiencing trauma, and who experience location changes often are concentrated in one location. This impacts the language children hear, the play that takes place, and adult-child interactions (included burned out teachers).

The classrooms present many challenges for teachers and it can be a very challenging environment

with her generalizing her findings to all or most preschools as it seems she looked for and found polar opposites making it very black and white versus all the shades of grey that lie between preschools whose children are from under-resourced families and whose children are from well-resourced families.

I am not sure if I agree or disagree with this, but reflect often about the author's comment "The whole-child approach of Head Start, which was designed to holistically benefit children, can have the side-effect of whole-child, whole-family surveillance."

Some funding policies (for example Head Start) make assumptions about families living in poverty (for example, that parents living in poverty do not brush their children's teeth) that have consequences for children's learning opportunities in preschool.

I disagree with her claims emphasizing poor children of color. Her comparisons are between a private versus Head Start. That only allows to claim differences by Private and Public. With her design to add the comparison by ethnicity , she needed to have two HeadStart centers one mainly with children of color and the other with mainly White children

Some of the segregation of preschools in America can be explained by funding policies (Head Start, GSRP, etc.).

I wonder if race and poverty are co-variables?

Preschools in America are segregated.

The author wrote "The sunshine children decided how to incorporate peers into their play often and without intervention from teachers. By having frequent chances to control their own activities, the sunshine children developed important skills."

that programs like Great Beginnings are "better" as the author sometimes alludes to. I have issues with how certain words are used to describe occurrences in GB as positive when they are not developmentally appropriate.

I don't agree with what seems to be her opinion of high-quality teaching or high-quality learning experiences for young children. It seems like she doesn't have a high opinion of children's agency and the implementation of shared control. These are both things that I am a proponent of.

# data[].attributes.body
there is segregation within preschools and the assumptions made about families in low-income specific programs differ from assumptions made about families in tuition based programs (example: the tooth brushing requirement in Head Start assumption that the children did not brush teeth at home vs. how that is not a requirement in other programs)

I agree that socioeconomic status is the great divider.
