Letter to Generation Next Leadership

To Leadership Council Co-Chairs and Leadership Council Members of Generation Next
I am writing to suggest a plan B to your coordination. Your power is not being maximized to the benefit of urban mom and the age 0-6 at risk child, in the cities. You are or will be prepared to look at alternatives when you realize that what is being done by the public sector will not close the education, economic, emotions and ethic gap. Child Care, Preschool, Head Start, Parent Aware, School Readiness and Universal Pre-k are all related efforts not closing the gap. The projection of outcomes for the efforts being coordinated do not raise the money needed to do first things first, right the first time. Seeing that is a critical step to continuous improvement. Without the money to reach 100% of the at risk before kindergarten with good, better or best outcomes your systems need a plan B.
You are doing coordination to close the gaps so by definition your systems need to flood the urban zones with best outcomes, not just good outcomes. I have no desire to diminish your efforts and sound like drivel. You are a 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 may never have adequate capacity to get that job done. Our PVofPE-Prek concept will help you with the bankers. But, you must get the continuous flow of new money for the continuous expectation and valuation of good outcomes measure by simple quality systems in place used by the lead of the private sector. I am sensing that your coordination has stalled on these money and high quality points.
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 customer driven innovation in the schools and city. Commit 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 is part of it. Mom and mentor will become influential with this 2 year effort that goes forward with continuous improvement and a traditional definition of high quality. The private sector plan to fund ERSD-RA for urban moms will not work without the public sector consistent deliver of good quality.
The pacing plan works with private sector money in a special way that is controversial building on past private sector 2008-2014 FED bailouts that lead the way. This is just one example of plus 50 private sector bailouts missed https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/mbs_faq.html by urban mom. She and child need a new deal from the private sector. Top quality delivery in the cities, alongside the public sector, is needed if we are going to be great. The public sector needs to define its source of NewOldMoney for good deliveries and consistently use it to cover all the children. The delivery of best practice outcomes to every at risk child defined by mom will require an understanding of PVofPE-Prek and NewOldMoney. Please, don’t leave the pacing plan documents without that understanding. And, don’t think for a moment that the private sector plan for urban deliveries will work without the public sector’s consistent deliver of good quality.
There is no other way to project a city without gaps than to start first things first with an influential private sector gift to urban mom for real readiness that is better and best delivered to result in a better or best outcomes. Cash for the private sector gift sits in the bank waiting for leadership to direct its first velocity turn as new monetary policy. New cash for the public sector is just as easily sourced as defined on this page. There is no choice. https://www.usavaluesii2.com/home-page-enlarged/ and effort could start now on both flows of NewOldMoney.

In other words, when do the gloves come off and who are the absolute rainmakers.
Generation Next does not see the potential of adequate money because your quality does not drive a bold request that is absolute adequate Rain Making. .Two issues, you don’t reach all the kids with good simple quality; and you don’t have open doors to let the private sector help you get to better and best deliveries to the most at risk.
