do you realize you are painting all children who are in public schools as crack babies?? Do you realize what you're saying?? Do you get that most kids in public schools come from middle class families?? Private education is too expensive for the average middle class family, let alone a poor one. I completely agree that the education system in this country needs to be overhauled.....it would be great if the private sector could take care of it....but I don't see that happening, the "profit" margins just aren't there for them to be interested. So it has to be government run. I personally think our government doesn't really give a fuck about educating america's children.......the elite's kids get their private education.

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.

I didnt know that if a child came from a household that made less than 1 mill they were in the same class as crack babies.

I don't think married with children is an "established, healthy, social norm."

Says who?? I see a lot of abusive marriages and hostile environments for children as a result.

I couldn't agree more with those stats. When a family is very troubled, staying together for the kids sake, is usually more harmful than getting a divorce

from my experience. . .100% of children don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. . .

while i don't disagree that it's better to grow up in a single-parent home than one where the parents a friggin assholes. . .it doesn't excuse the parents from being assholes. . .and, i think that children that grow up in a traditional home with two loving parents are a hell of a lot better off than those that grow up in a single parent home. . .when i was a kid, my friends whose parents divorced got away with a hell of a lot more shit than i did. . .only one set of eyes on them. . .they also got a lot more presents than i did. . .their parents were always competing against one and other for the child's affection and trying to hurt the other one in the process. . .plus the gifts helped the parents deal with the guilt of having fucked up the whole situation to begin with. . .

from my experience, a lot of that "happiness" that the kids are experiencing is as a result of the material gifts that they are showered with and the additional "freedom" that usually exists in a single-parent household. . .while i believe that these children believe that they are happy (see my opening statement), i think that if you surveyed the same kids after they are grown up, the results would be a little different. . .historical perspective generally sheds a completely different light on things. . .
