Leaders of Parent Aware, Leaders of MinneMinds, Staff, Stakeholders
Quoting your website, “PASR’s board of business and civic leaders have seen proof that market forces can reshape the child care marketplace, drive quality improvements and ultimately get kids ready for school.” The PASR Board has adopted the Early Education Reform Blueprint. “Private Sector To-Do List” as its scope of work with this last one being noted here – After quality improvement reforms are in place, speak out in favor of improving low-income kids’ access to quality programs in connection with the public sectors investing in improving low-income kids’ access to quality.
After reading the full report evidence (4-5 reports) for a full throttle positive expectation of gap reduction and removal in urban education and economies; please, tell me there is more. More for urban mom who needs to influence her child’s first things first age 0-6 education and beyond. Parent Aware is not strong enough to influence her and frankly appears to have stalled with the ultimate capacity to reach her through the providers with real market highest quality. New public sector money is being shared with school readiness, universal pre-k and an insider focused Parent Aware that gives 4 Star rating away to government expansions.
Urban mom still needs a new deal. Your private sector power is not seen, in the twin cities. When you realize that what is being done by the public sector will not close the education, economic, emotions and ethic gap you will need a plan B. Child Care, Preschool, Head Start, Parent Aware, School Readiness and Universal Pre-k are all related efforts not closing the gap as directly measured within our nation and state. The projection of outcomes for the efforts of Parent Aware do not raise the money needed to do first things first, right the first time so where is all this effort paying off in continuous improvement. Your customer requirement hardly mentions the private sector market concept of good, better or best outcomes continuously improving in a most basic way that urban mom understands.
I have no desire to diminish your efforts and sound like drivel. You are protecting a quality measurement, not understood, that produces no better than good results and may freeze out best practices. Your systems need to flood the urban zones with best outcomes, not just good outcomes if gaps are going to be reduced. You are a very smart group and will agree that each mom and child must arrive at kindergarten ready to learn to make America Great. Your source of money, the way things are going may never have adequate capacity to get that job done. Our PVofPE-Prek concept will help you with the bankers. There is a 3 year payback for the expected valuation of good outcomes measured by simple quality systems in place, used within the lead of the private sector. Has your Parent Aware System (QRIS, CLASS, STARS, IOPs) stalled on these money and high quality points? Has your System been taken over by the public sector outside of its original design?
Our pacing plan (introduced in this blog post https://www.usavaluesii2.com/this-is-my-book ) should be picked apart by you, please look, see and comment. Mayors, community leaders and school superintendents committed to real outcomes are needed in deed not word. We need faith that if a child is really-ready to read before kindergarten and the district is 100% populated with that capacity everything will be better and different giving rise to continuous improvement and customer driven innovation in the schools and city. Any private sector plan to deliver ERSD-RA is aided directly by the consistent deliver of good quality. Part of this is commitment to deliver 100% of the children to kindergarten really-ready to read, count and understand positive expectations before the sensitive period to learn language is lost at age 7. Mom and mentor will become influential with a 2-year effort that goes forward with continuous improvement and a traditional definition of high quality.
Repeating, don’t think for a moment that the private sector plan for urban deliveries will work without the consistent deliver of good quality alongside its base. The public sector needs to define its source of NewOldMoney for good deliveries and consistently use it to cover all the children. New cash for the public sector is to be sourced as defined on this page. There is no choice, it will require President Lincoln type courage, unless we choose to leave the at risk behind. When you go to this page understand the NewOldMoney demonstrated distinction between the public and private sector. https://www.usavaluesii2.com/home-page-enlarged/
The pacing plan being suggested works with private sector money in a special way that is building on past private sector (2008-2014) FED FOMC bailouts that led the way to restoration. This is just one example of +50 private sector bailouts https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/mbs_faq.html missed by urban mom. This does not take President Lincoln type Courage but rather takes former Chairman Bernanke we the people private sector fairness and courage. She and child need a can’t miss new deal from the private sector that she can work into. Top quality delivery in the cities, alongside the public sector, is needed if we are going to be at new levels of great. The delivery of best practice outcomes to every at risk child, defined by mom, will require an understanding of PVofPE-Prek and NewOldMoney. Mom and mentor already has this knowledge capacity. Please, don’t leave the pacing plan documents without that understanding from the pages of https://www.usavaluesii2.com/
Cash for the private sector gift already sits in the bank waiting for monetary policy leadership to direct its first velocity turn influence the private sector to close urban mom into the concept of real readiness that is better and best delivered to result in a better or best outcomes.
Speaking as a private sector businessman about business there is an important possibility, equally emerging that will allow the private sector to reorganize its direct impact on the education and economic gaps before kindergarten.
- Clear market definitions of high quality outcomes,
- Continuous improvement of ERSD-RA,
- Targeting the required first things first influence of mom over education,
- Sustainability based on very local profits, and
- NewOldMoney from new monetary policy used repeatedly.
I know you are busy, let me know when you want to talk about this.
Sincerely

Logic and understanding tells me this is the best opportunity to grow the nation, Yet the leadership does not present it as an absolute. Absolute leadership does not exist. Accepting no is everywhere. Getting the money that is available to highest and best in quality for 100% coverage is not considered to be an absolute.
Barbara-
I am familiar with the domains of early learning and have responded and commented in the past more about what they are not compared to what they are. 96 indicators of progress that do not individually take the child and urban mom all the way to his/her capability in literacy and math but do hope somehow the gap will be avoided. A confusion of mother as to what straight expected outcomes are versus how a provider should appear delivering those outcomes. The Early Learning Tool Box also does not take mom and the child all the way. But everything in it could be called good quality in competitive deliveries of good, better or best.
Our nation and state first measures a gap in third grade and observes gaps when they exist or do not in the process of starting kindergarten. The public sector and even most private sector efforts do not square up to first things first required to be better or best in those measures and what should be observed leading up to the measures and knowing the sensitivities to learning language and order. In terms of long term benefits the worst or zero ECE competes against the best in school, district, state, nation and world. The results of that competition play out over the next 85 years. What our public sector and private sector chooses to not deliver because we can’t find the courageous solution to the money or the simple definition of highest and best quality becomes vested in the child at age 7 and the school district rating. This is simple at age 3,4,5,6 and 7. Deliver ready to read, count and become the best.
We are leading to marginal results for urban mother and child because we do not have the right rainmakers working the private sector or the public sector NewOldMoney. Parent Aware has become a huge distraction in that light because the money already exists but the quality is not obvious. This page explains what our best rainmakers should be doing. https://www.usavaluesii2.com/home-page-enlarged/ The public sector should be funded to a good quality level by the equal to a “Federal Greenback Dollar or a state owned bank”. There are many words about this opportunity; google Ellen Brown, she writes clearly. The private sector that delivers better and best outcomes alongside the public sector outcomes could be funded (20 billion per year) by the private sector proxy position of monetary policy executed by the Federal Reserve FOMC. No president or congress approval is required. The rainmakers are going to be the private sector most powerful persons for age 0-6 at risk children. They are going to do what President Lincoln did to win the civil war. It is big.
In terms of the private sector willingness to rain this money, first we need a simple definition of quality that can be understood by the urban mom, the private sector, the public sector, the school district and then dual purposed to urban mom’s influence over the early education of her youngest children. Only a paid mentor can deliver this.
I heard that this private sector effort http://www.usavaluescoupons.com/tangelo-park-solution/
was designed around community wide putting Head Start on steroids at the direction and funding of Harris Rosen who did not feel he needed the government to create better or best. That development has stood the test of time (15 years and counting) and became the community. I would be happy to show you what is being called better and best in a Montessori Classroom that stands above and beyond the Indicators of Progress. Above the law that can be verified via observation; and coordinates next steps for the children better than CLASS.
New rainmaker financial leadership at the President Lincoln level in Minnesota could assume 300 million dollars of FED monetary policy money is needed each year to provide better and best outcome opportunities to urban mom and her age 0-6 children. This is 60,000 children in a program for age 3-5 before kindergarten ($5,000 per child for 2 years run by public school districts). As I said the money is just sitting around in the private sector being looked at by the bankers. I don’t know how much public sector money is needed to put Parent Aware on an outcome measurement basis and measure centers and residences on good quality defined by the direct outcomes per child of the Indicators of Progress. But I am sure the clarity would be welcomed. The money (say 250 million added to CCAP as the getting back to work requirement is removed) has no fiscal constraint as a Federal Greenback Dollar or NewOldMoney created by a State Owned Bank. Hellen Brown would help the rainmaker with this creation.
