Believe me, if there were long term beneficial effects that could be traced to Head Start, we would have heard about them by now, over and over and over again…

I think there is evidence of big effects from Head Start, but they all disappear in the next five years. We have not yet found an intervention in early childhood education that is detectable at age 25, but a lot of preschool-type activities are quite detectable and significant in first-grade results.

Is there evidence for “big effects” from Head Start? Steve Sailer is always mocking the idea but maybe I’m missing something.
