What Happened To Kids? (4443 hits)

One of the topics I have been planning to post something about on this Blog is the poor state of Public Education, which in my view went to hell in the preverbal hand basket around the middle nineteen eighties. Having served as a substitute teacher during the seventies, I ended the practice forever in the early nineties after weighing the danger of being assaulted by an unruly student or being arrested by a disgruntle parent for touching their precious child.

I saw this video when it first came out and was disgusted. I'm embarrassed to admit that this took place in my hometown of Baltimore, although unfortunately I'm not surprised.

The ridiculously poor state of urban public school systems in America would be almost laughable, if it wasn't mostly our kids whose futures are determined there. It seems like everyone is depending upon the school personnel to be not just educators, but parents, policemen, social workers, and everything in between; all with little resources.

I was once told by whom I considered, "a smart old man", said to me to find an answer to a problem you will have to go back into history because before, "It" became a problem it had to be right. My solution to the problem is easy, close public schools. By the way this was never a problem before intergration. I am old school when things weren't broken and we tried to fix them with intergration.

The sad truth is our educational system is failing our children and preparing more of them for bleak prisons than bright futures !

To better educate today’s youth means better connecting our people and maximizing our resources. Caring citizens, parents, students, schools, groups, businesses, churches, and many others, are working with us to create more academic successes for more children. More than ever before, it takes an entire community to raise a child.

The urgency to revive the power of our people in unity to achieve greater educational successes for our youth is obvious.

Please check out www.uniteedesign.com to learn about a growing movement that’s empowering brighter futures every day. Let’s continue to encourage others to do their part in uplifting the quality of life and learning for our children.

Together, let’s show the world how beautiful, smart and special our children really are.
