Sharon L. Kagan of Columbia University wrote an article titled,
American Early Childhood Education: Preventing or Perpetuating Inequity?,
In the article Kagan discusses whether or not the early childhood education system in America is fair to all children, or does the system prevent itself from being fair. The truth is that the early childhood education in America is not fair for all children, as we all know there are many varying degrees of wealth in America, because of this those who are closer to the poverty level or are in poverty do not get to experience the same benefits and treatment that those who are more wealthy experience. This unfortunately includes children as well, children who come from families that are in poverty do not get to experience higher quality early childhood education programs because they are unable to afford it.
