4 thoughts on “Problem Memorandum- Barriers to Child Care Assistance for Poor Single Parents in Mississippi”
From this well-written memorandum an urgency to reform the thinking and approaches behind child care subsidies is felt. Mississippi local governments has to improve its current laws in order for its people to benefit. The memorandum provides ample information to place the reader in the shoes of a single-parent in Mississippi. While one statistic shows the benefit for the assistance another shows how much more is left to benefit from the assistance. It is disheartening at times to see our policy to impede the progress of the people they were designed to help.
This problem memorandum was very insightful . It shed light on the problems single parents face trying to pursue higher education and the barriers they have to receiving adequate and consistent childcare. Ryan made three main arguments that are concise and easy to follow. Ryan points out the issue immediately in the introduction. And then dedicates the rest of the memorandum to arguing about the weaknesses within the early child care subsidy system.
I need to stress how concise this memorandum is. The topic is complicated but Ryan managed to find a way to keep it to two pages which is something I struggled with in my memorandum. You captivated my attention as a reader and got me interested enough in the topic to go look up supplemental information. The MDHS is liable for the responsibility to help those single parents that fit the criteria to receive the subsidies and are putting forth effort to make it. Ryan, I would simply suggest giving specific ways you want the MDHS process to be be reconsidered.
I really enjoyed reading your memo, Ryan. It flowed nicely and your arguments were very clear. Additionally, I think you strengthened your claims and arguments by backing them all up with statistics. I think you used data in a really powerful way. I learned a lot from your memo and I think it would be effective.
Hey Ryan! This is an enlightening memo that with the information you provided, gave me a well-rounded view of the challenges with child care for single parents looking to continue their education in Mississippi. You presented the case and its seriousness with precision for the reader to comprehend. The pieces of evidence most convincing as to the seriousness of the problem is the combination of statistical evidence with the testimony of the affected stakeholders. From a single parent facing these challenges his or herself to a child care provider that had to close due to the unreliable funding that she was receiving for to care for the children of these single parents in need, demonstrated the urgency to address the problem at hand. I previously worked with young adults in workforce, and despite how progressive New York City is, this was a major challenge for the advancement in education and work of those who are single parents. The waiting lists, parents having to bring their studies to a halt, narrowing their and their child’s opportunities to progress, are all lamentable outcomes that affect single parents who are motivated. Yet calls to action, such as this, can reroute the direction to momentous change.
