Education and Care for Children in Poverty Act

[Akno21]

My school just got 750 K to build a new WEIGHT training facility.
Talk about a stupid alocation of money.

Another thing.  I'm pretty sure my school is on the watch list.  But it's not because we don't have enough money.  All of our computers are 5 or less years old, all our textbooks are usable, and we have excellant teachers.  Sometimes it's just the kids not wanting to learn. Every school has them.  Kids that don't do anything and don't take the tests seriously.  We replaced Gym Jr year with an extra math class, but the next yr the scores didn't improve.

Dubya, my bill will not give funding to build weight training facilities, not to worry.

About the kids who don't want to learn, maybe if we instilled good learning habits in them at an early age, things would be different.

How are you going to instill good learning habits.  Most don't like school and never have.  What are you going to make them go to more school and give them less freedom? I know the last thing I wanted to do when I was 10 or 11 was stay at school or at a daycare place.  I wanted to get out and play ball or watch tv.

The bulk of this bill is for when they are 1 or 2, not 10 or 11. Also, the bill does not say children MUST attend the after school care, it is simply an option for parents who can't spend time with their kid then, but want them supervised.

You are alocating ~5.5 billion (1/3 of the money) for school age day care services and you're assuming every kid will attend (which they won't).

Overestimating is better than underestimating.

They kids would probably be able to play baseball or watch appropriate TV at the daycares.  {Am I correct, Akno?}

Obviously they wouldn't be sitting inside doing work all the time. They could watch TV, stuff like Bill Nye, along with entertainment videos. More likely basketball than baseball, due to inner city space issues, but same idea.

Sorry ILV, but I highly doubt you are poverty. Plus, you are a year too old.

King, it has been 7 days, you should open voting.

[patrick1]

Good intentions but more cradle to the grave government encroachment.  Should we screen the day care kids to see if they are good gymnasts too?
