Two folks in the home going to work = higher discretionary income Higher discretionary income = eventual higher prices ( cars, homes ) as a function of capitalism Higher prices = requirement for two incomes Two income requirement = kids raised in mass storage facilities Kids raised in mass storage facilities = problem kids....
It's a spiral, and I don't see it ending any time soon. In my elementary school ( 360 kids or so ) we had one principal, one nurse, one secretary, one custodian, three cafeteria workers and a teacher for every 20 kids or so. Kids took turns in the cafeteria picking trash off trays and the floor, and running stuff thru the dishwasher ( it would have scalded me I'm sure ) .. There was a superintendent and a secretarial staff downtown. Those days are gone except in small Asian rim countries.... wait a minute, who is it that's kicking our ass in education these days...... Us, who were once at the top are now in the teens.. North Carolina education is the 48th worst in the country last time I checked.. and we do have tenure here. Hmmmmmm... all this seems to add up.....

True? I don't know, but that is what I remember learning. +1 - to all your comments - thanks. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
