      An intervention that raises the avg child from the 50th to the 56th percentile? What a joke.

      I mean, that would be nice if it was cheap, but here it is being promoted as ending the racial etc. gaps. Ridiculous.

      The glasses alone probably cost abt $30,000 for the sample. Over half needed replacements??? This is not a high yield intervention.

      Well, might be better than HeadStart for which there seems to be no detectable benefits at all!https://www.acf.hhs.gov/opre/resource/head-start-impact-study-final-report …

      To read about these things, one kinda has to take pleasure in the absurd amounts of money being spent on nothing.

      It's a racket. We spend millions on garbage programs in this country, yet I can't get a research grant?

      Some children can't affort glasses to be able to *see* properly, and you complain about your life? Time to reflect on your priorities.

      I didn't say giving kids glasses was bad. There are good reasons to do that. But it's not an effective way to raise school achievement.

      You said we waste money on this and I can't get grant money. Also: study shows it does matter. Even if it contradicts your prior.

      Study doesn't show that. It's a small non-randomized no control group follow up with marginal finding. I'll take a bet on non-replication.

          It has a control group, just not a randomized one. As you know in such diff-in-diff estimates, it hinges on parallel trend assumption. 1/n

          Specifically:Is there reason to believe that absent intervention, kids with good eye sight would have learned slower than kids with bad? 2/n
