Obama should also cling to his goal of re-creating nationally the visionary Harlem Children's Zone — a swath of Harlem in which the poorest residents are surrounded by service and educational programs, starting before birth in a class called Baby College. During his campaign, Obama proposed duplicating the project with a half-private, half-governmental project in cities including Houston. (For details, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh5QRMaa_KE).
The children's zone plan will probably have to wait until shock waves stop jolting the economy. But just as he went to that parent-teacher meeting right after election, Obama must act fast after entering office to launch the most affordable, achievable educational reforms. They are the building blocks for our children's future prosperity.
