Based on what? We have always calculated the employment rate the same way. You want to skew it against Obama by picking another criteria? No way. After the shock of the BP spill, the federal government is going to be overly cautious about offshore leasing in the future. The rest of the country doesn't care if it tanks the Louisiana economy. This wasn't supposed to happen after EXXON Valdez, but it did. They can't afford for another one to happen anytime soon. So every i will be dotted and every t crossed and it's going to be a slow return to pre-BP levels. Get used to it. How do you know this? Did Obama say this? What example of "ambivalence" to the terrorist threat at home do you offer.
Wrong again. You're Obama hatred is blinding you The March 2011 Jobs Report: Good News for February | Corrente The two big stories in this report on the February numbers are that the economy created 192,000 jobs
Unemployment under Reagan was at 10.8% at one point. And he was born from Jesus coming down and impregnating Mother Teresa. But that doesn't matter because deep down this really is all about 1 thing and we all know what that is.
but he had a mother and she valued education. and obama is a smart guy. what if he was stupid and had a crack whore mother? anyway, why do i have to do your job here? i had to correct the guy for his unpatriotic post
Every person in America can achieve anything. I agree. But saying that many children go home to no support from parents is a true statement. These kids have parents that do not help them study and do not give them encouragement to do well. These parents are gang banging or doing other things that do not give a good enviroment for the child at home. What's un patriotic about saying that a teacher is not always the blame for a child not learning at school? This is what I said: Many failing schools have something in common. The parents of many of these kids do not commit themselves to their kids studies. If a kid goes home to a parent that shows no attention to them, are strung out or gang banging the kid doesn't stand a chance. The child will not succeede if not given an oppertunity to. If the parent doesn't do their part then the teacher is in a no win situation. The part of a kid doesn't stand a chance may be what your talking about. Let me rephrase that. A kid that has no home support and only sees gang banging, drug dealing and no loving support will not learn the value of education. Many of these children grow up to be gang bangers following the example left for them by their parents. Teachers get blamed for this. It's not always a bad teacher that is the reason a child fails at school. Many times it's the failure of the parents at home to help the child succeed. I am very patroitic and fly the flag with pride. I am not one of those that will not say the pledge because it offends me. What's wrong with saying a good positive home life is relevent to a grade school kid succeeding in school and a teacher can only do so much without parent involvement in the childs learning. You said I had to be corrected. Maybe you can make me see the eror in my reasoning.
i was sarcastically playing conservative to your progressive side. normally around here you get a response like mine if you even hint that people arent completely responsible for themselves. "my family was poor and we were ok. "cry me a river" "if you dont like it move to another country" "this is the democrats plan to get votes" "so i guess here goes more of my tax money to fix this" im with you on this, bud.
Personal responsiblilty is a conservitive battle cry. That comes with kids. It is your responsiblilty as a parent to make damn sure your kid learns. No amount of money spent on schools can make a parent give a crap. Don't say it's about unequal oppertunities or social inequality or racism or the price of beans in Mexico. If the parent doesn't care the kid sure as hell won't. No amount of community organizing or social engineering will make the same positive impact that a father sitting at the table activly helping his child do his homework. Or a mother lovingly praising her son for doing well on his test. A teacher can show the child everything but it's the parent that has to make sure the kid learns it. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, white or black, liberal or conservative. Love for your child should force you to want to be active in their studies. The schools are full of kids who's parents don't care. A mother with five kids from five diffrent men who doesn't care if the kid does his homework or not is the problem. Men who father kids and don't care and aren't there to both physically and emotionally to raise that child are the problem. No amount of money or no matter how good the teacher is matters when the parent isn't responsible for their kid. More than anything worthless parents steal away the oppertunity for their kids in the USA.
