Re: the next generation. The first 1000 days are show to critically determine a childs future prospects. By the age of 3 a child's educational prospects are broadly fixed. The cuts that occur now will mean that this generation will face a massive lack of sure start centres, and pre-school places and funding. This means they will be massively disadvantaged when the start school and evidence suggests that by the age of three, those children who are behind will remain behind for the rest of their lives. This creates a generation of children not fit for work, and relient on benefits.Invariably these children come from working class families, were statistically by the age of three a working class child will know just a tenth of the words of a middle class child. They start school behind and they stay behind for the rest of their lives. All for the sake of saving a little money now.
