<<<Yes, because it makes sense. I have mentioned to you before if you educate a ghetto the ghetto disappears.<

<<Well, that works if the ghetto WANTS to be educated. >.


That is not how education works. People need to learn to learn. Why do you think kids from highly educated families, or rich families almost always go to college and kids from poor uneducated families often don't.

<<We have thousands of supposedly "highly educated" kids leaving college that can't find a job. How's that higher education working out for them???>>

A job is not the # 1 reason to go to college. The #1 reason is to develop the mind. A developed mind can do anything.

How can an uneducated person know what being educated is about?

And many people in the ghetto lack self confidence. They don't know they can do it. It is beneficial to let them know they can do it. To help them along.
