City to End Program Giving Cash to the Poor

My heart goes out to the students whose schools are unable to engage them in activities that motivate and challenge them. I understand how difficult it is to feel happy and encourage your friends to succeed at school if you think there is something wrong with your government, which thinks there's something wrong with you. Do you really want your little brother or sister to grow up without the ability to read and write perfect English, be a nurse or a teacher or buyer for a department store, fix or design a car, pay taxes, own a home, work for a newspaper, an oil company, in city planning or on Wall St? I sure hope not. Sometimes it's just best to forget about the government and focus on school. That high school diploma is worth it financially and you won't regret it. And if your school is not providing you with the classes or teachers that will enable these opportunities, you need to tell the newspaper.

OK to the above.

The program has been running for two years. It has produced short horizon results.

The usual unaccelerated learn to read and write program ran six years. the new one runs eight.

I would not expect visible results in two years.

The GOP wants disasters and makes them.
