Hi Ryan, as you were just saying about Re: STREET PEOPLE....
RB> RT> understands that just standing back and throwing monies into welfare 
RB> RT> is not the solution. 
RB> 
RB> Hahaha.. but throwing money into education will? 
Just throwing money at anything is not the answer.  That money needs
to be well spent.  That means that you need to spend it on the right
things.
RB> Maybe you haven't
RB> been in a  high school lately, but it sure isn't any sock hop. Metal
RB> detectors, drug  searches, armed police officers, gangs, not to
RB> mention vastly plummeting  standards. Not because the kids are
RB> stupid, but the system  keeps grinding more  and more to a complete
RB> halt. 
Why do you think the system "......keeps grinding more and more to a
complete halt"? I see you bitching, but I don't see any *constructive*
criticism from you.  What do you feel should be fixed?  How would you
do it?  What do you feel the monies should be spent on?
BTW, I noticed that you did not address my comment but only a snippet
from it.
  
RB> Now, of course, *rich* high schools aren't like  this, but
RB> nearly every high school with a *poor* population  is.
Hmmmm, some of my family teaches in poor school districts.
RB> I'm sure that's just another coincidence, though.
I am sure that the chip on your shoulder makes discussing subjects
with you less interesting than if you would contructively discuss them.
