I have thought about everything in your post. If a black person is a pub, I have to question their judgement.

We have plenty of information on all of that stuff.

As I posted to John V:

I say do what we can as soon as we can. Free pre school for every kid would be a great start. Giving those little kids educational skills at an early age will help them in a zillion ways, like confidence and basic information e.g. hang your coat on a hook and get along with your class mates and knowing general knowledge like colors , numbers and the alphabet, before they get to kindergarten.

Organization, following rules, just being in an academic setting (making it familiar, so it isn't scary) , learning to read books and on and on. Not to mention a hot meal. We need to empower these little kids and the best way to do that, the very best way, is with education.

If a street kid gets 2.5 years of pre school before 5, it will allow him to compete with rich and academic kids when they reach kindergarten who all have pre school.

The rich and academics enroll their kids in the best pre schools the minute they are born. They know it is that important. Our clan discusses every academic move of the grand kids. We literally work on balancing learning and playing. But education is a constant, really in our entire clan.

Hard for a poor kid to compete. I want to empower them so they can compete and most liberals feel that way I think. If the poor kids enter kindergarten with academic skills they will not be scared to compete and will be armed to compete, with the aristocracy.

Teach a kid to think and you will feed him for a lifetime. And he will be a more happy person and much more helpful to society.
