		<description>People made fun of the family sitcoms in the 50s as being too goody-goody. They said they were unrealistic - that real families are more disfunctional. 
I saw the sitcoms more as being family role models and teaching tools illustrating an ideal. 
Now there are no models to follow except what you learn at home.
Sad.</description>

		<description>I agree. The love of learning starts with the love of reading. There are ideas, stories, biographies, histories that are interesting and they are all free at the library.
Take your child there as soon as he/she can read and show them what an amazing special place it is!</description>

		<description>Education is not everything. The looters are in power now and they are in the process of punishing the producers. The 5.4% tax surcharge in the proposed national health care, the expiring of the Bush tax cut at the end of 2010, the task force that is looking at the elimination of business write-offs, state income taxes increases &amp; cap and trade will finish off (anticipation already has) the USA private sector business. Engineering design firms have no business unless it is building a hospital. Why would anyone in their right mind invest in the USA now?

We will have a young group of recently educated potential workers who will not be able to find a job in the USA. They voted for Obama, so deal with it you morons. Educated white males will be on the bottom of the totum pole in order to make diversity numbers look better like they have been for 40 years. Government contracts (the only growing business along with budget deficits) will not award contracts if you have too many white males. 

The producers have already figured out that shipping manufacturing job overseas is a good thing for them. With cheap internet phone service, IT jobs, order entry, billing and invoicing, and product technical support jobs are now (and more soon) in India, Malaysia and the Phillipines. Plus they do not get sued for having too many white males, and they are able to fire bad workers regardless of gender, race (hispanic is a culture not a race, but La Raza does not care), or sexuality. 

However, I can get my lawn mowed cheap by illegals. They will soon have citizenship to go along with their free emergency room health care. What a deal. 

Press #1 for Spanish &amp; 2 for English.

Hope you are enjoying your 401K in your golden years. Goldman Sachs is doing well with the $ you put in them--sucker!

National Health Care will be similar to what was in the Soylent Green movie.

		<description>True, there lies the art of globalization. Vast majority of the world&#039;s population are uneducated but they are very capable of doing the simple jobs which do not require a degree -and they work with less money. That&#039;s why all labour work is moving to developing countries and the ones that stay keep hiring immigrants who don&#039;t ask for much. In the US it&#039;s Mexicans, in Europe it&#039;s arabs and africans.

The only way the people of west can get a job is to either lower their salary exceptions or educate themselves so hard that they can work in a field the uneducated can not. Globalization is just going to grow and people need to understand the value of education. 

Europe is breaking apart with this &quot;welfare state&quot; -ideology due to the growing number of people who need social security. The boat can no longer carry everyone. The truth is, life is getting harder in the west since we no longer dominate the world. Asia is a big player and Latin America hasn&#039;t even started playing yet. The only tool Americans (or Europeans) can fight with is education. The rest, as cruel as it sounds, have no choice but to stay poor.</description>

		<description>The great equalizer in American society is the guarenteed education of all our children.     Children are not mature enough to grasp/appreciate the real, life-long significance of working hard in school. Long before a child has entered school, she/he has already learned thousands of lessons, directly and indirectly, from their parents. These lessons include citizenship, responsibility, manners, and a good work ethic, to name a few.  Parents are a child&#039;s first teacher.  Each child brings the lessons learned during their early childhood to school with them.  Some have had wonderful beginnings--and I&#039;m not talking about money.  I&#039;m talking about caring and love.  These children know that they truly matter to the most important people in their lifes-their parents. It is  easy teaching these children.  I know. 
I&#039;ve been doing it for 35 years.  
The challenging children to teach are the ones who haven&#039;t been raised in a consistant, loving enviornment.  Most of these children suffer from low self-esteem and a sense of apathy.  Nobody that matters to them, really cares how they perform in school.  A student in my class this year was always unclean, poorly dressed(clothes NEVER fit ) and unfed.  She was fed breakfast and lunch everyday for free.  She was given 2 pairs of shoes, three coats and several articles of clothing throughout the year as well.  Each time she was given a coat, she would show up on a freezing Pennsylvania winter day wearing only a sweatshirt.  She would say that she couldn&#039;t find the coat in her house.  She never completed homework.  Papers and forms were never signed.  She was tardy over 48 times this year--and I don&#039;t mean 5 or 10 minutes late.  Her hands were constantly scratched and gouged from a stray cat that moved in with them.  She was 6 years old.

This child is very bright.  She has the ability to be a very good student.  But I can tell you right now that if her homelife doesn&#039;t change, the chances of her being a successful student are slim to none.  C&amp;YS were contacted.  They spoke to the mother and she promised to get her daughter to school on time.  That lasted about 1 week.  Kids like this little girl fly right under the radar of Children&amp; Youth services.  Not enough neglect to remove the child--just poor parenting.  Never the less, these children show up in classrooms all over the country and teachers must do their best to educate them.  The trouble is --how do we undo what has already been done for the first 5 years of their lifes?  
Forgive this analogy, but in a business or manufacturing enviornment, if the materials used to produce a product are inferior they are returned to the supplier.  Educators do not have that option.  We take all children and do our best to educate them and move them forward.  
I love and nuture my kids all day long, but when the bell rings @ 3:30 they return to the place where sadly no one asks how was school today.  
America needs to get very serious about good parenting.  And not just to make a teacher&#039;s job easier--but to make every child&#039;s life better so she/he can actualize their potential and become well-adjusted,productive members of society.  After all, isn&#039;t that the real goal of education?</description>

		<description>Where does family history (crime family or drugs or alcohol abuse or child abuse) or values (teen age pregnancy or parental educational level or family involvement in schooling) figure into the crime stats?  

Is there more of a culture of violence in the urban AA population rather than the urban latino population?  What I see in the Twin Cities still seems to fall more along the lines of dysfunctional families with generational histories of drug/alcohol abuse, child abuse and mental illness rather than racial lines.  Still why do so many AA families succumb to this and other AA families do not?

I am &quot;white&quot; with distant Hispanic blood, yet my childhood heroes of learning were George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington.  They learned against odds.</description>

		<description>How do we spread the notion of a &quot;love of learning/value of learning&quot; that seems to dominate in some cultures?  Without that as a core value, you can post this important article 100 years from now and it will still be &quot;current&quot; because nothing will have changed.  And it doesn&#039;t have to be &quot;education&quot; vs. &quot;living in the woods making pottery&quot; -- because both require the love of learning something to achieve satisfaction in this life.</description>

		<description>Well, LD, looking at the racial considerations you bring forward for education and unemployment, I would like to throw one other item into the mix:

&lt;blockquote&gt;At midyear 2008, there were 4,777 black male inmates per 100,000 black males held in state and federal prisons and local jails, compared to 1,760 Hispanic male inmates per 100,000 Hispanic males and 727 white male inmates per 100,000 white males.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>I&#039;m getting very tired of hearing how the schools have failed.  When will commentators hold the parents responsible? 

My wife is a school social worker.  She, teachers and school staff do far more to help students than most of us would consider doing in our day to day jobs.  At least in the Twin Cities inner city schools, teachers work hard intellectually and emotionally to give kids a behavioral and educational chance to succeed.  For some kids, its apparent as early as first grade that the kids behavioral issues and parenting are dooming him/her to crime.  Some kids at that age are already sociopaths.

Other kids have a chance and show brilliance but the parents are more interested in drugs, crime, booze or the gang life.  Often the grandparents are raising the kid while dad (whomever that is) is absent and mom is in and out of rehab or jail.  Is refreshing to see the Latino and Somali families at her school.  Both parents come to conferences and school events.</description>

		<description>And money doesn&#039;t seem to be the answer to this problem either.  Many urban school districts spend more per pupil than nearby suburban school districts.  

As long as illegitimacy rates remain high for AAs, their place in the permanent underclass will be guaranteed.

This is a cultural problem.  The time is long overdue for leaders in the AA community to campaign HARD against illegitimacy.</description>
