"Denied- Ignored - and Ultimately- treated Poorly"

Posted 7/11/2009 9:51 AM CDT on shreveporttimes.com

I care about "us", as the people who make up what is America- and we as, American's certainly deserve to be 'each respected as individuals". It is our only pathway to the salvation within our living arrangement as a community of citizens, and people who care to make life better and consider one another. God knows, we have enough challenges, without adding other forms of discriminations within our lives. it is hopeful any who read this, get the gist of meaning, simply to know.. 'we must find ways to engage to consider each other, respectfully, as individual. We all simply want to live a life and engage the opportunity, without bias of any sort.

"Denied- Ignored - and Ultimately- treated Poorly"

We have a City, a State and a Nation, with a population that is heavy in volume of people over "50" - We have these seemingly mis-guided people put in places to do the hiring of people, who look at age with a discriminating mentality. We have these yuppie types who have invaded Human Resource department, with mandates, which diminish the quality of lives through these means of denial of opportunity, based on wrong way biases of a wide assortment. It is becoming more apparant daily, some who occupy these position are individuals, who have forgotten that this is America, and each person should be given consideration without discrimination against Age or any other factor, nor have their lives denied and turned upside down, by unreal criteria and other subjugation, based on challenges un-realted to their ability to perform available jobs. We need to stand up and put a stop to this kind of madness.

America is being destroyed by its own process of trying to make real life match TV imagery, and the result is; it disrespect people, unjustly deny people, and with full acts of disregard, it has caused a system that ignores people. No person is proud of a poor credit rating, nor are people proud about the inability to meet their debt obligations. We can't treat people as being without a sense of responsibility, when they have limited opportunity, and a employment arena that has diminished and reduced wages, and taken benefit, and left many, not only unable to pay their bill, many people have been made homeless as a result of these conditions. They certainly do not need to be denied opportunity, based on a credit report, and other forms and acts of bias.

We have far too many people, who have reached the age past 50, they should not be disregarded, denied, and pushed to the side. Our whole nation is seeing a mass of people, who have to not only rebuild their lives, but many are forced to start over, at the age of 50+, and for employers and HR people, to have a mindset to discriminate against people over age 50, is worst than being un-american, it is a form of bigotry that insults, the very nature of what is America, and what it means to be an American.

Much of the Laid off and unemployed work force consist of people, over 50, whom many have worked many years, at some of the business that no longer exist. They are in as much need as anyone else for employment. We see over and over, the criteria, claiming a Bachelor's degree is needed. How can you denote a job and what it entails being based on a degree- when many responsibilities of the jobs, require basic common sense, and in some cases simply related experience, or the basic ability to follow instruction; and no job hires anyone without first having to train them, on how they want things done. This chase of a Degree has been a denial to many people, when the same job will hire a person with a degree, that has a degree, which is totally "UNRELATED", to any duties the job requires.

Our system has turned this degree chase into a madness, which basically implies, a degree to be nothing more than a "paid for - certificate for employment access". Education was never designed to be made into a circus in such ways.

Education is to provide information to afford people simply to be informed and share that information to improve the community of humanity. We have turned it into a status game, and one which discredits American people., and is worn like a false crown, as if we have become consumed in Idolatry

All over this Region, people who have many many levels of gained information, learned knowledge from doing a variety of jobs, and many have great skills and great character as individuals. Yet they are being denied opportunity, for the sake of a certificate, even being claim as necessary, for a non technical, non medical, and other jobs, which are simply common sense work, that basically requires the general nature of communicating effectively.

Many people are out in the market looking for work, and many people can and will do what the job requires, but they first must be afforded the opportunity, as a person, as an individual, and their gained information and developed life skills, qualify them, It must not be disregarded nor ignored.
We demean people, and wonder why the spiritual self of people seem so battered.

We can see all over this city, many senior citizens who are extremely gracious people with a very mannered demeanor, and they are treated terribly, made to wait, and treated as if they are a non important part of the community. People - wake up and get this tv imagery out of your mind, of a media made up of 20-30 something, and the rest of the people are ignored as if they don't matter. What kind of people have we become ? Why are we controlled by the images the media depict as a basis of how we treat people? In this society, we see it all the time, and far too often, a pretty girl or a handsome man, is employed, simply because of how they look, and in some cases, they are not the best qualified person for the job, nor do they get the same scrutiny engaged when they come for employment. We see people hired, because they fit some movie image, or they stand over 6 ft tall, and these so called "All America" image that was pushed in the 1960's. We do not have a so called "All American Look"... !!! American's are of many looks, and many varieties of features within how American's as people look.

I've seen the smart white girl, who did not look spit and polished in media imagery, pushed back for certain jobs, where the white girl, who fits the made up imagery of the Media, and talk with the valley girl lingo, given a job, when the other girl, who did not sound like a valley girl singing phrases, or with the over emphasis on make up, and expensive hair do, was clearly more informed in the ability to do the jobs. This happens to black women, where there are some jobs given to the thin one, over the more heavy weight one, and the same thing done to men, both black and white, who fit some TV image, over a person who has the ability and sometimes the higher ability to do the jobs. but they don't look like some media imagery.

This is the stuff no one wants to talk about- but, As American People, we need to deal with people as individuals, respect people as persons, and be respectful of people without judging and placing people in positions based on how they appeal to us, as far as being some clone model of a media entertainer.

American is suffering because of this bias, discriminatory mindset that is engaged. and we damage more people in more ways, with this silliness. We have simply forgot how to respect people as individuals.

A Sun Tan looking white person is hired before the white person who does not have a tan, the light skin black person is hired before the dark skin black person, This kind of stuff is a sad reality in America, and does a great dis-service to individuals. I see some stores, they hire white manages, who may not be as sharp as the cashier, especially in some of these dollar stores, or one white manager, managing 10 black people, as if there is no black people qualified to manage 10 white people. We need to see people as people, and don't have the pre-set categories, we offer to one group as options, and a different pre set category we offer to another group as options.

People... THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY... and America is lagging in every category in both the business realm and the living standard is falling like a giant rock from a high cliff.. Until We become people, who simply respect each other, and work together with each other, we will continue to fall as a nation. We are being out performed by every nation we once called "third world".. we are being gouged for over pricing of everything. and now we have more methods of discriminating against people for personal "VAIN" reasons. And we disrespect people behind our own vain delusions.

The delusion of status, has become the diminishing of a nation and ostracizing of the Everyday American Citizen.

"Denied- Ignored - and Ultimately- treated Poorly"

How did we become so lost in the media imagery chase, we can't even respect each other in personal relationships, or invest in our community or support each other as neighbors.. all behind, who has the newest car, how much did it cost, and what place they eat dinner, and how much money they wasted on designer labels. The silliness of designer labels, that people don't grasp, its all 'MADE IN CHINA", and
On the street's of China, this same stuff people pay outrageous prices for, can be bought for little of nothing.

We build social delusion on things based on vanity, and we wonder why our social environment is in such shambles.
We wonder why we seem to remained stressed about everything, and satisfied with nothing.
We see families killing the whole family when their access to this vain status stuff is challenged or their economic conditions change.
We see people plotting to kill their own mate, to collect insurance, simply to chase a vain status illusion, We see relationships breaking up, because one expect the other to buy them status things, or take them to status places, it becomes so ingrained. They forget the simplicity of loving each other.

Will we change... Possibly Not...
Will we See the Vanity of our Ways - Probably Not..
Sadly we have people who go to Church every Sunday and some on Wednesday night too... and all the other days of the week, they condemn their neighbor or the people they encounter in public, with every kind of negative judgment imaginable.
Yet, they call themselves Christians.

What have we become in our own Cities, may tell us what we have become as a Nation,
and
It just might make us aware
of
what we have become as a people
and
a person.

We use to be a nations, which respected our elders, we use to be a nation, which had compassion for families when they faced challenges, and made them feel welcome and still a part of the community, We had a sense of Hope, We had a sense of faith and we had the decency of humanity to believe our efforts and the efforts of other's made a difference.

Why in this age of information, are we such a cut throat society, people will not assist, if one is seeking work, no one is willing to offer assistance, if families are living challenged, instead of us, trying to be morally supportive, we condemn them for what they don't have of trinkets and material status matter of material things. It's such a tragic reality, we teach it to kids, because they learn by what they see us as a people do, and they are ready to kill for material things, which next season won't even be an item of interest.

Are we barbaric people who only have a spoken manner, we use as a diversion, to act like a wolf who is dressed in sheep clothing, with an intent to deceive.

Did we just wittiness that demeanor on a Grand Scale .. to Watch and See "Bernie Madoff", destroy countless lives, and even loot and destroy Charities.
did it show us anything about how we have become as people, to see people so lost in a the worship of an image, they turned over the earned money, based solely on the image of the man, many even went begging, for him to take their money. Yet. none, thought to investigate, to verify, and pay attention, to the real nature of a turbulent stock market, which gave every indicator that no one man can outperform, what countless thousands work with daily, and they can't duplicate it, People even ignored, the people who raised the flag of awareness, and condemn the person who tried to present to them, information, and ask them "simply to investigate".. He was shunned, because the worship of the image of Madoff, was greater than the use of wisdom to simply investigate.

"Denied- Ignored - and Ultimately- Treated Poorly"






Let us -- Hopefully, Make a Change

And
Give effort to simply respect, and treat each other fairly
and
Regard the dignity of life of each other.

May or May not


Shock American's Awake

Imbalanced economy



We have the poor conditions of an imbalanced economy - where Minimum wage jobs, impact the lives of people, from state to state to city to town We may assume if we so callously choose, and claim it does not have an impact on education and its institutions.

Exposure in life is educational, when parents cannot afford to attend their children, because they work two low paying jobs, and many parents now with no option for employment, but low paying jobs - then we can certainly look to the further decline in education and its institution. Income earning is so low, it damages the commercial sector, and that damages the tax base of revenue generations, and result, is states funding is set then, to cut educational funding, and facility upkeep, poor and no improvements, and its turned into a baby sitting mill, void of funding true educational programs in a progressive and developing manner.



Family Unit Distorted

Yes, they are connected, but not in the ways you'd readily assume, but in ways that diminish not only the quality of lives of individuals, but it proves to build a segregation within our mental class based society. This segment of realism is grossly over-looked.
From Latch key kids, to kids, whom only get to see their parents, after the parent have put in a 16hr work day, and still find not only a challenge to having time with their kids, but the stresses of the parents, who are unable to find ways to of interaction with their childs education. silliness of systems that only help some families, if the low wage earning father leaves the home. compounded by a system that will not allow them to earn additional income to work themselves off of assistance programs. the catch 22 defeat cycle imposed upon the American struggling families. a nation, forcing and indentured nature to cycle for generations. without regard, to support it as growing and working itself to a better status. FAmilies don't have generations to wait, parents need the assistance, but they also want the option to earn along with that assistance to help their recovery to become independent and self sustaining. We need a system that learns how to help those who have needs, to work their way to a level of self sustaining means.

Over-Worked and Under Paid

Yes, it is a reality - what is furthermore, with Americans earning less, and working more, the decline in tax generated revenue declines, impacting cuts in educational institution, programs dropped, and other student services being diminished. We see it all across this nation, but we are seeing it in one dimension, but feeling the impact in the total spectrum of our living and child grooming realities. Our nation is out of balance with even its own concepts. We aspire to claim what the wealthy set as a standard, is the imagery of American, when reality is, we have a ever expanding nation of third world conditions. We have the insidious nature of executives earning millions upon millions of dollars, while cutting benefits, and diminishing the quality of products made and sold, and loosing market share, while still paying themselves a bonus, and the American worker, is paid for the labors of a day, what the executives pay themselves, for less than 15 minutes -1/2 hour of work. The imbalance has distorted the reality of America. No CEO, who is hired help, should reap millions, while cutting benefits to employess, diminishing product quality, cancelling out service to its customers, and outsourcing labor to foreign countries, while the executive offices, given themselves bonus after bonus, followed by pay raise and perks, enhanced with a kings ransom of stock options. It has simply killed the American Industry, and devastated the American workers, converting them to ' near slave status, but forcing it to the level of indenture till, it can work no more, then selling away their pension, making destitude the workers of America.

Wealthy and Poor - "The Widening Valley"
From the simple elements to the more complex matters, our system is is free fall, from the illusion that American standard of living can be sustained on minimum wage. Which is not only a non reality, it is a insult to the children of tomorrow, when the disparity between the wealthy and the working poor, is a valley which widens each day, and many are cast to the bottom of the valley, yet, they work and worry how to help their children, whom they are unable to see with quality time, for relationship build, and even less for their educational needs.


Work and School - "Time Frames out of Sync"
Hours or Work and Hours of School are out of sync. when jobs, require people to work, at 6-7-8 O'clock, which means they can't see their kids off to school, and school let's out at 2:45, but the jobs shifts, do not end until 3-4-5 O'clock. It simply is no continuity for the claim we want a better nations and better supervised kids.

It's a paradox of many things, which may and may not have a simple fix. Truth factor !!! everyone is not going to be an executive, who works from 9-5, nor will everyone have a plush office job. The world works because the hands of people get dirty, and the labors that make industry perform requires hands of people. and this is the most dis-respected group, yet the group that is pushed, to get their kids an education. We have the simplest jobs, now asking for a degree- to do what common sense affords one the ability to perform.

The Delusion Within A Nation - "Where everyone is assumed to pursue to be an Executive" - Unaware that production requires hands on work.

maintaing a work force which engage the average american citizens with labors, and a sense of self worth, and contribution to the society in which they live. and being respected without undue biased measure.
Result - our nation has become about climbing the corporate ladder, more than being a person and individual who can take on the task of working and engaging the labors which keep the nation moving. Our institution push for a degree, and we ignore the many technical jobs, which not only needs to increase if we are to become again a nation which, prides itself on having industry in its own lands. but without it, we are doomed on the economic front, and the paper shuffle position are finding more and more limits of opportunity.

An "Old" Agenda in need of questions

What we failed to realize with the elitist pursuit of an illusion that people will be all college graduates, and sit behind a desk or push papers we ignored the fact. and removed the structure from our education system. To teach crafts, To teach trades, and to start young to develop the skill sets within the youth. America prospered, when we taught in our schools the crafts and the trades, which inspired a nation to be creative and industry of every sort sprang up, and this nation flourished. We no longer make anything, we no longer consider production of our own consumables, nor do we engage the trades, to lead children to learn the skill, be inspired about the systems building techniques, which propelled America as a nation of great innovations. We need to again learn to respect the crafts people, embrace the artisans, and support with respect the tradesmen, and give the day laborer, respect for the great effort they give, which is the same efforts which made America great, before America, became too elite pursuing to even respect itself. and lost itself in pomp and pagentry, with a upturned nose at the people who actually engage to work. Madoff, worship for the illusion of granduer, until people found out their delusion, only covered a wolf, in sheeps clothing, who was simply a thief, without a veil or mask, but a smile of smirk at the madness of a mass of people worshiping an image he crafted, to lead the blind off the cliffs as simple as it was made to be. Because American became to worship image, more than respect the truth and discover the fact, and verify the presentation. and fools of men, gave fortunes, unto an image, without a second thought, and were made barren.

Our illusion and the obsession with delusion,

has become to think the executive suites make business prosper, when they are simply the organizing body, it is the works that people do in the actual production which makes a business prosper. Unfortunately, we as a nation have allowed the executive suites to strap business with un=needed debt, and wild expansion and un-related conjoined operations, where one bleeds the others, until the corporation is in decline. Yet... we sit and watch the executives pay themselvs, over and over, and the attorneys, walk with them as they loot company after company, and all the remaining gains are used as collateral to take on more debt. and another cycle of pay the executives a bonus. The production floor, simply becomes a sham, churning out substandard components and products, relying on the working public, to buy short life cycle products, with a dependence by the executives, for them to have need to repurchase it again in 6 months, as we become a nation of creating disposable consumables. sold at a inflated price, to people who are strapped in min wage jobs. Again... what should we blame. beyond the delusions pushed of an elite society, which has created a nation of people trapped in servititude of sorts.

Higher Learning- and The Programmed Selling of A Nations Strength

Could the truth be, it is the Educational Systems, which are designed only to train executives, to pursue the penny, at the expense of quality products, quality workmanship, and sustaining an industry without the assumption of massive debt, and disrespecting the people who actually do the work. paying min wage, while the executives live in luxury as the nation declines as a whole.

How does it connect - with such a cycle and such stresses upon the working poor, they are destined to produce another generation of people void of the basic education, and not taught the basic skills of crafts and trades, and cycled back through the mills of min, wage positions. What results is a nation- which produces another cycle of "indentured servants".. who can only buy their way out of this status, with a claim of degree. skill or no skill, craft or no craft, trade or no trade, but simply a degree. It's as if we have a massive system, designed to produce over-seer's of indentured servants, who are leftover from a system, designed to insure that the lowest common denominator remains to be, the production of a mass pool of people, relegated to be part of the min wage structure.



The Shame of a Nation

No longer are there factories humming with the sounds of production, No longer are the parking lots of industry filled with cars, and people moving through the gates headed to give a days work in the production of products that Americans use and utilize.
We don't make anything, yet, our inner cities are filled with High Rise Building, which now more and more are becoming simply empty concrete and glass structures, left abandoned, because they no longer have "production units within factories to produce anything". and the cut throat game of the paper shufflers, touting their degree, ready to back stab each other, for a position, to shuffle paper and bark self serving orders, wanting to be worshiped, rather than to simply do the job they are paid to do, but now, they only shuffle paper, trying to figure out how to keep selling "Foreign Made" products to American people, and skim a major profit at the expense of the downfall of American business and american people, whom have been idled, because the factory floors are covered with dust, after the unit has been closed, all the while spewing a message, saying "We Can't Compete". We can't compete, because we don't produce anything, We can't compete, because the loss of the craftsman , the tradesman, and the hands on workers, are now idled, and paid a min wage, who simply can't afford to buy the ' "products they once were able to produce and purchase. Now people are relegated to buy "foreign products".. with a poor salary earned, from being a 'sales clerk, trying to push "foreign made products".. to a people, who equally so can't earn enough to purchase it from their own sale clerk jobs.

Our system trained people to a mentality that destroyed the American Industry, all for the claim of degree, who did not work, but only sought ways, to enrich themselves, by selling away the industry, and claiming to save the company money, only to fatten their pocket with a bonus, and high salary, all at the expense of diminishing the stature of a nation - How_ by trying to find any means, to push paper and claim a profit, without the responsibility to maintain and manage a Production Unit as the foundation component of Industry, and we simply ahve become an Nation, unable to produce even the toothpaste, we use, . American Executive, with the misguided thought, they could exchange productions units on American Soil, for the options to sell and market foreign made products> and support Foreign Production Units on Foreign Soil.
Result: Foreign Nation have risen, and we have become simply a debtor nation. Unable to Produce anything, and selling any and every unit that produces anything to foreign investors, and no more, is the remaining industry any more than , the illusion of a one brand name, which claimed itself to be American.

The Rise of the MBA- and The Fall Of A Nation
It was not only ignorant to the fact, that if people don't earn a salary to produce production unit, they also cannot earn a salary to buy what is produced, EXCEPT, LOWER QUALITY ITEMS, made by foreign hand, designed to a lower standard, to be affordable by a nation of sales clerk, and this process simply turned America into a Giant Department store to dispense foreign made products, made to a lesser standard to be consumed by a sales clerk force of American citizens.

And we wonder why all else declines.

Now.. what do we see, We see cities, collapsing on themselves, no tax base, because there is no industry which employ people, there are no small business which supply localized industry, and there are no small business shop keepers who market products produced by American Industry, so the chain is broken, and the results, is.. Close down the medical facility, close down sections of the school, and the cycle includes, watch our streets crumble, and our parks go unkept, our bridges collapsing on people, and from neighborhood to neighborhood, watch the houses deteriorate, and the community simply falls into decay.

Educated to the degree of being unaware of how a nation economic systems keep a nation strong. In the executives suites, people riding titles, looking for a bonus, and a higher pay day, by any means, and any actions, while American has been in a cycle of downfall for 40 years. Who sold away the core of a nation, unaware no nation can remain strong without industry on its soil and its people working and producing the consumable which keeps the cycle of progress moving.

We experienced, 8 years of Delusions

Fake Tax rebates, issued against borrowed money from Chinese industrial complex, Value of the homes falsely inflated, and the proceeds drained to give the delusion that our economy was moving, Selling of Fake paper, built on over inflated home value, and a false claim of windfall profits, push by the illusion American could pay an inflated interest rate, for the use of the money derived from the selling of this nation property- "UN-AWARE_ no one can pay an inflated interest rate, when incomes are falling, jobs are carted away, and we are relegated to be simply a nation of "sale clerks, of foreign products". Producing nothing, thus the result, we have a nation of unemployed people, we have a nation that produces nothing, we are a nation that sold away its own industry, we have a nation that has lived from the delusion of borrowed funds from foreign entities, and now the debt is due, and the "Fire Sale of America" is in full swing. and around the nation from city to city, town to town, and ocean to ocean.. we are a devastated nation. Un employment, in true terms, running at 20-25%,
and no production capacity of industry to work our way out, and we function under the delusion, we think , marketing even more cheap foreign products to a diminished wage society, who earn min wage from sales clerk salary is suppose to bring us through this.
When reality is, China is the Humming Industrial Capital of the World, moving further and further ahead, and not only can we not catch up, our nation is now so indebeted to China, it cannot stay afloat without a continual borrowing line of credit from China. As we shuffle trying to market and sell any industry that has an once upon a time symbol as an American Industrial Leader.

We Can't Even Farm anymore - and Our Fish, is imported from Foreign Waters From Foreign Lands

We have imports from South American of vegetable products, We have import of "Sea Foods from everyplace in the Asian continent, We feed American people, Beef, injected with every chemical man can get injected, without causing immediate and sudden death to the cattle before it can be slaughter, butchered and sold.


Old Model did not work !!!!!!!!!!!

We've tried the old models for 8 years , of start a war, and hope it feeds the economy, what we resulted to find, was a war simply quickened the demise of a once great nation, into a debtor nation, which resulted to insult itself on a world stage, as a bully, and a invader, and was quickly left, in the mess of its own manufactured war, to find itself embroiled with a continual debt that drains its coffers, and now we fight a foreign war on credit borrowing.

The Deal of a New Generation

Building Tomorrow - Today

If we are to rise again as a strong nation, we first must dedicate ourselves to building small business from the ground up, re establishing small busuiness in our communities, filling our cities with small business, making creative choices, building new creative things, and engaging business in creative ways, We must build, from within, We must open our minds, to trust each other, and support each other, and make our systems support the effort we engae by working with us, We don't need a hand out, unless it is to assist us in lifting up a nation and ourselves, we ask for nothing for free, but we ask not to be tied in the delusions of bankings madness of red tape and denials, but a blue ribbon of support, and team work, to build our nation again, to be the gold star medallion of growth. and it will take no less, that our nation, to abandon the devise of collusive process, which only feeds the ego of the processor, we need true function, and direct actions, we need voices, to be unafraid to speak, and voices that are not with envy, and resentment toward our own bretheren of nation, but be willing, be able and be mindful, we must be in support of our neighbors, as well as we are of self- and we build, we rebuild, and we grow, unity makes us become strong in that growth..

Posted 7/9/2009 1:02 PM CDT on shreveporttimes.com

I give much regard to those who are Teachers. I wish I had the credentials to be one, but I don't. Yet that does not stop me from thinking about the condition and the process within Schools and the need to provide teachers what they need. to be better in what they aspire to do.

We need a love within teaching and a passion within students for learning, to be the passion which drives.......

" School "

FIRST AND FOREMOST-
WHEN TEACHERS ARE SELECTED, IF YOU TRUST THEIR ABILITY TO HIRE THEM,
THEN TRUST THEM TO TEACH.

GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO IMPROVE HOW THEY APPROACH THEIR PROCESS OF TEACHING.

• Provide TEACHER'S Assistants - It's the simplest thing to do in the world, We have countless college Junior and Senior level students, who can be given college credits to be assigned to schools for 1-2 semesters, they get real world experience in how educational processes are engaged, and they learn by doing. but it affords, the teacher, the help needed to interact with students. This delusion that a teacher can just present the information, and the kid will grasp it .. Does not work, and many students are left behind in the process. some kids need interaction.
• We as a system - handicap the youth, with the current process- it has continually shown to not meet the measure of improved learning, and yet.. the continual beating a dead horse mentality of how it is approached, is not only pathetic, but it is evident the system itself is not learning.
• More young people drop out from pure boredom, from classrooms void of interactivity and lack of sufficient assistance within engaging their minds.
• It's not even logical to put a teacher in a class of 30, and expect that within 1 hr, they can effectively teach. Even on jobs with adults, Union leads, are given a set amount of people and when it exceeds that number, they have to designate an additional lead. How can we be so callous with the most important job there is, which is teaching, to not afford these people who have educated themselves with efforts to become a teacher, and then handicap them with unreal expectations, to follow a pressure cooker script process.
• Teacher themselves have personal goals, they want to see results from their efforts, they are not interested in being baby sitters reading a unsatisfying story. they became teachers so they could teach and delight in their students learning.

Stop and look at the number of people, who have abandoned teaching, not because they did not love to teach, they have a passion for it, yet, they simply could not function to the level they desired, when our system is simple and fundamentally broken. and then confine them to processes that are non productive, and does not function to inspire and motivate nor give them mental and functional room to actually engage teaching.

Simple Logic - Kids have questions, kids need understanding, and they need interaction.

Force feeding as if shoveling script down their throats, simply does not work, information needs to be chewed and its needs digesting,

The matter is not simply teaching them to remember "stuff" - but teaching them how to think, and how to use their ability to reason and rationalize. They want to know how information relates within life, how does it function to connect the dots in living.

Our system fails because it does not stress, the emphasis on learning how to think. The result of this failure shows in our society, people today stress out when it is time to think. and we go forth not understanding the value within learning how to think. Learning values and principles, improves the character of the human being, it opens up their minds to want to investigate, and the thirst to learn more is then charged up within the minds of the human being.

Our education system is leaving our young people battered

For the simply lack of change
in how we staff and provide for assistance within the classrooms
Compounded
by
The lack of some Parents to take an active role in their child's education.

This becomes the result of their condition

Unable to embrace the challenges of today's world
with
Parents who claim they can't understand,
when
they know they'd never taken a stand,
to
give their own child
a
helping hand

We have a summer -- which is leading us unto a new school year. Shall we bring new methods, and new ideas, or will we plod along the course of yesterday and hope it engages the future of tomorrows. Shall we ignore change, and loose awareness unto what changes, and continue to seek to rebuild yesterday, while today, leads us into tomorrows. and time simply finds us.. lagging behind, as the world move ahead.

Computers are now with us for many years,

yet it has not become the making of the digital boards, as being a counterpart, with the chalk boards in the classrooms, nor has the interactivity of the web base sharing of information become a mainstay, as the students desktop. And we languish in a process of yesterday, and wonder why the children of today, have become to fall to the 25th status of modern day educational equation among world nations.

We stake claim to be the greatest country, and yet. we see and we know, our processes are of yesterday, denying us a passport into tomorrow.

Parents buying young people gadgets for games, and gadgets for talking but so many have no idea what a computer can provide, they have the latest tennis shoes, but no computer with access to educational investigations. they have a monthly cell phone bill, but no money to buy a book, or a table to write or draw. the latest CD on sale on the corner, yet a tattered uniform, with no hair bow, or clean socks to be found.

The poorest neighborhoods, with the most expensive marketing hooks, people caught like fish, with a rubber lure, yet, children, unlearned and parents void of the importance of gaining an education for their child. Some children have never ventured beyond the confines of their neighborhood, to know there is a vast world which remains unknown to them. Parents making choices to be unaware of their own child's lack of educational involvement, Parents with refrigerator with cold beer, but there is not a bookshelf in the house, nor a tablet on a table. Countless dollars spent on the weekend party, but not a dime for a educational tool, and the children cannot even find a pencil within the house. The future of such children are sold away into the madhouse circus of the ghetto antic's, and parents unaware why their little Johnny can't read, and their little Sarah can't count - wondering how many more days she has to go without a proper dinner or a bath before bed.

Mommies and Daddies out on a hustle- playing the street game

so goes the Future.... consumed without character, chasing images of caricature

The Circus of Life
