Married with Children? You're amongst the elite in America.

Yes, by all means, lets nationalize education so the poorest children can be even more fucked-up than before. That government magic bullet will sure fix it!

Typical response... we just need to put more money into government. Some people never learn from past mistakes.

Now we could, just for fun, address the real issue of generational welfare recipients who are wards of the state and crank-out crack addicted kids but that would be too pragmatic. Even if you spend $10M in education on a crack-addicted, fetal alcohol syndrome baby from a third-generation welfare mother who isn't even sure who the father is, chances are he's not going to be a productive member of society.

good God, help us. Deliver us from another MrPlunkey "fuck the poor" tirade.

Agreed.

If the parents are worthless then it's probable their kids will be too.

A healthy stable parental environment (i.e. marriage) will cause the kid to want to suceed and achieve whereas deadbeat parents will surely cause the opposite.

Throwing more of my tax money at shitty education isn't going to change a thing. Last time I checked they did not teach much on marriage & parenting at public schools. If anything they are teaching the opposite with all the liberal PC crap.

Or one could simply homeschool their children but there are very few parents who would take on such a tremendous commitment and responsibility.

Quality of product is always a function of effort put into said product. No different for childrens education.

Sixth grade was the hardest 4 years of my life, thank God for free education and people that learned to read finally.

Let me get this straight. Plunkey and aap are opposed to public education and want only the children of elite families to be able to get an education?

Don't you think that you would create more cost in the long run by having such a large group of uneducated people.

I grew up poor and did okay with an education and have never been on welfare or public assistance of any kind (except if you consider pell grants and student loans public assistance). Many kids make their way out of poverty through education.

Do you really want public schools teaching kids about their idea of marriage and parenting? Since supposedly money is the biggest cause of divorce, in high school kid need to learn financial literacy above and beyond simple economics classes.

Hmmmmmm interesting theories up in this bitch.

The poor and less advantaged need be exterminated and our society will greatly benefit.

Correct me if I am wrong. But wasnt there some dude who already put that theory into motion? I thought he wasn't thought of too highly for it.

But hey, at least he tried. You can't blame a brother for wanting to better the world.

No. I never said I did.
Public education is too liberal. Teaching about marriage and parenting would only make the problem worse as it would be entirely political correctness.

Money is the biggest cause of divorce? I disagree. Despite what CNN might have told you I do not know any of my divorced friends in their situation due to money. I'd opt to say there are numerous causes for divorce but it's more about selfishness, incompatibilty, and spoiled people inable to compromise.

Regardless the causes, throwing MORE money at public education is going to do nothing to remedy the problem of divorce.

Only if you take my opinion that marriage and family is better for kids as a personal attack, which you apparently do.

Marriage does not constitute a sound family, and family does not constitute a sound marriage. I also thought this way, but was sadly disappointed in the process.
