I still like the idea someone had on here awhile back. Make the assistance - section 8, welfare, food stamps, etc, contingent on the kids having acceptable grades. Also make it contingent upon the parents attempting to get work or better their lives in some way. If the pattern is broken, the problem will gradually be reduced, if not eliminated. The trouble is that it's passed down from one generation to the next, in rapid succession since a generation in this area is often 14-16 yrs. Stop rewarding teens for having babies, too.

Oak, a lot of these programs are only available in the poorest areas, so again you are still talking about the concentration of poverty/segregation. Here is the head start for Bergen County, it is in a couple of spots, none in the Northern part of the county and it runs from 845-345. That does not cover a lot of time for employment. http://www.bergencap.org/headstart.html > > > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "dfsavgny" <dfsavgny@> wrote: > > > > > How about aid/assistance for performance.
