Is It Time Yet? Imagine Yourself a 3 Year Old At Risk Child

Before you read this blog, imagine you are a 3 year old at risk child and your mother is going to deliver you to kindergarten NOT ready to read and there is nothing you can do about it.  And you understand the investment to get ready has been talked about (in design) by the powerful for 20 years, but the design is so expensive it makes the mountain climb ahead even more formidable and the leadership willing to do anything but first things first, in front of all that money spent K-12, that would not be needed, if you were ready.   Who steps in with a hand up to ME?  In 2 short years your going to teach me to help my neighbor, right?  It might look like a hand out to mom, but to me, the rest of my life might hinge on it.  There are 2,000,000 kids like me. 

What is my economic ready or not?  It is at least $500,000 according to John Grisham who is known to “get it”!  That is a trillion dollars of future growth a year, or not.   Why don’t you write the ending, or the beginning.  Keep it short and we can publish it.  But, remember there are 2,000,000 just like me next year and per year after that.  Our GDP is stuck at 15 trillion dollars and appears to say my growth is not a positive expectation; is not wanted; literacy is not freedom unless delivered overseas; quality is not free, and a half trillion dollar ROI on cost of 30 billion is not good enough. 

If you think I am out to lunch, say so.  Be polite, it is a blog with many links to positive expectations.

Schools and Government - We the People

Schools and Government Greeting Card -- We the People

Greetings to each and every School District Leadership
We position local school districts to influence business and organizations to provide initial leverage required to do first things first. 
We suggest tweaks to the public systems will energize a focus on 100%, without capacity constraint, and create proficient students who graduate; are resilient and resourceful; characterized by positive expectations. 
You know Early Literacy is Freedom!  Your district would be changed forever if 100% of the children arrived ready to read before kindergarten. 
You will want to know how we plan to present this because the whole of the plan is unique even though nothing is new. 
Please call me and I will walk you through the links and what is first things first in ten minutes.

1. We must start with the end in mind. http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/end-in-mind.html

2.  At risk mom and child must understand the importance.  The PSM is:

"Delivery of early reading skills is a Critical Gift. Without this Gift,
all children are behind before they start kindergarten.  Business wants to make certain this is understood and help exists if mom needs it." 
http://www.usavaluescoupons.com/

3.  When at risk mom and child ask for help the school district must deliver the help without delay or else the most at risk mom will disappear.  The new money for new deliver is discussed here. Schools Can't get to 100% readiness if the most at risk don't believe and stay focused on the help.  The basic is so very important, who do they trust?http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/Arguments.html  

4. New Money is available.  The worst case just needs the commitment to pay it back in your time.  Business will leverage unused assets to start the loan process and will help, if needed, with high quality change managment of constraints to generate the needed innovation and savings to pay back the loan.  FTFRTFT gives the systems a new positive expectation.  Really -- Leadership should not delay the start past the understanding of this.  http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/Early_Reading.html

USA VALUES, LLC President, Thomas Wolfgram commented, "It is important to develop access to new money for school districts without new taxes for new early reading skills delivered to our most at risk children before kindergarten. USA VALUES clarifies the concepts of first things first right the first time (FTFRTFT) and the present value of positive expectations from pre-k (PVofPE-Prek) to create the new money in an Early Reading Skills Delivered process (ERSD-RA) .”

"Importantly; FTFRTFT, PVofPE-Prek and ERSD-RA can be used to create new money with innovation and requirements."

The requirement of pre-k ready to read, count and understand positive direction (ERSD-RA) before kindergarten has the potential to change everything about the education and poverty gaps. http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/ and http://www.usavaluescoupons.com.  The “system” to complete the delivery of early reading skills to all young children (age 0-6) as a start in life is strong for some and weak for others. It is exactly the wrong place to have a weak system for the weakest. USA VALUES would clarify the interest and influence of the school district’s spending to be proficient starting kindergarten and as a follow on to the kindergarten ready start.

Business Greeting Card -- Enjoy Your Freedom


Greetings to each and every business and organization in the USA.

We position business of all sizes to influence from all levels, the local school district's attitude about constraints to do first things first. 

We suggest tweaks to the public systems will restart, within present funding leverage, local districts focus on 100% of age 0-6 at risk children, and mothers with literacy mentors to create proficient students who graduate; demonstrating resiliency and positive expectations when necessary.    

You know Early Literacy is Freedom!  And, expensive beyond recovery when missed.

You will want to know how we plan to present this because the whole of the plan is unique even though nothing is new. 

Please call me and I will walk you through the links and what is first things first in ten minutes.
