That is very admirable. It is really impressive to see people with that gift work their influence on youth these days. Kudos to you. Two grandkids will wear on my patience! Ha!

The school systems curriculums are broken. 60% of the things taught are used. Kids change when they are exposed to different things. Some of you are praising a particular ethnic group and degrading another. The #1 difference in the two is exposure. Contrary to false statistics black families have a high involvement. It's a social economic problem which entails limits exposure. I'm a living witness that once a kid is exposed to better it sparks a difference. Even things as simple as field trips and different cities brings changes.
IMO trade schools should take place, investing, money management, trading, how to grow wealth, etc. Who cares about Mississippi history. How did it benefit me? It was a waste of time.
Some school districts do utilize partnerships with area businesses to expose students to particular fields but this takes cohesion from the school as well as the businesses. I personally know plenty supposed parents of different races who are pure trash individuals when it come to rearing a child. It is very sad. Some of their kids grew up and still wallow in the mire but some did get out and never return.
No more money for education. Build more prisons and fill them up. Chicago learned that the biggest factor for a reduction in crime many years ago was ease of abortion. Well that?s changing so be prepared for further escalation
Reminds me when I parked on a lot near Ladd Stadium. Guy on the street was taking 5 bucks to let you park there. The money was for "security". Guess these patrons forgot to pay up.
More money would make a difference in some places. There are some schools where there is enough parental involvement that more money isn't needed. There are some schools where parental involvement is so bad that any realistic sum of money won't make a difference. There are schools with a mix where some better funding could make a difference if spent wisely.
I don't think the state government is capable of reliably identifying those schools. They can't politically devote extra resources to those schools anyway. And even if they could, they wouldn't be able to ensure the money is spent in a way that matters.
I actually had some obviously idiotic hope that knowing this was a certainty if there wasn't some sort of security presence monitoring the parking areas, that somebody would have security patrol the area. I kind of knew the city of Jackson wouldn't do it, but was hoping maybe the chamber of commerce or downtown partners would chip in to pay just to avoid another black eye.
I guess the good thing is that I don't guess this is really abnormal enough to catch the interest of non-local news, but it still sucks for the City of Jackson because next time there is an event like this, people are going to have to decide if they're willing to deal with the hassle of having their window broken just to go to the event.
Bingo. Not to get political.
I want babies born to people that are positioned in life that are ready to love and support a child. Forcing unwanted pregnancies is going to plummet this country into a very bad place. Matter of fact, the sooner we come to a consensus on abortion, the sooner we can focus on much more important issues facing our country. Too much political time and energy is wasted on this stupid discussion. Illegal or not, they will continue. Changing the law only makes it way more dangerous and hard to obtain.
To whomever sent the message saying Jackson spends 2X the amount of money per student than Desoto or Madison, well no shit. You are proving my point exactly. Parents are the single biggest influence on kids success. I don't care how much you spend on per student education. If parents are not engaged actively in what their student is learning, helping on the side, teaching the student how to behave, setting expectations, tracking assignments, etc.....
It doesn't flipping matter how much money people spend. 1 dollar or 2500 dollars per term.
No abortion kills in more ways than one. It is an economic disaster. If no abortion, we could have 60 million more taxpayers and workers today - not a shortage of either. Abortion is a disaster on every front.
The same morals that thinks abortion is right also sees no issue with killing others or stealing from others. Abortion is an indicator of what our culture values. Abortion solves nothing but creates destruction in its path.
Just eliminate private schooling for 18 and under and watch the public school system magically be quality with funds used in appropriate manners and teachers well compensated and actually quality educators.
That's the real problem. People with enough power / money to cause change in public school systems and keep corruption out / improve standards just go to a private institution instead.
Furthers the gap at an earlier age.
Lol if you think having MORE mouths to feed and MORE competition in the workforce is good for 99% of America then you're an idiot.
The market being undersaturated with workers means workers are more valuable and they have to get compensated enough or they have options.
The market being oversaturated with workers means people are going jobless, working out of fear of joblessness, and people have to commit crime to get their next meal.
This is such a brain dead take, I don't know how you even got there. That's astonishingly bad. There's finite amount of resources on this planet. Go learn Thermo 101 man. This is DUMB
