I'm sure they're not keeping track.<BR/><BR/>I thought about this a lot today; you know, if they'd organize a group of interested volunteers to help out--say, show up with some quarters and some detergent and help out the girl who really wants to go to school but doesn't have laundry facilities available--I've got nothing better to do with my evenings.<BR/><BR/>But the people who could organize those groups don't care about practical stuff; they just want my cash so they can blow it on something else.HeatherRadishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200373266300186422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494067943593793251.post-18394026361229935592008-01-10T11:21:00.000-06:002008-01-10T11:21:00.000-06:00I'd be interested to know some follow-up statistic...I'd be interested to know some follow-up statistics:<BR/><BR/>How many of those children come from single-parent (usually single-mother) homes?<BR/><BR/>How many of those children have or are siblings to other children in the system - and how many of these children have both the same mother and father?<BR/><BR/>What is the (average) highest level of education the parents have received?<BR/><BR/>What is are the types of jobs these mothers/parents have?<BR/><BR/>What are the criminal records of said parents?<BR/><BR/>It's not enough to say 1/3 of the kids are living in poverty, then argue poverty is the cause of poor education, criminality, and employment.<BR/><BR/>It's the other way around.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913350782739004678noreply@blogger.com
