Learn how to seperate to smaller quanities by using a scale. Show's their kids how the denomination of the US Currency is used. How to change a $20. How to run like hell if you see a cop. <BR/>If the cop catches them they'll be out in time for dinner. <BR/>So most kids do get a education from their parent.thepaintmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16278425621411312438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-90352683816286083312007-10-08T17:10:00.000-05:002007-10-08T17:10:00.000-05:00Freakonomics changed my life.Suburban white dudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-13616089954184358732007-10-08T14:02:00.000-05:002007-10-08T14:02:00.000-05:00tony I loved this post. this school district has been chronically mismanaged by decades of administration and the differing school boards. KCMO will always be a second class city until that is fixedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-70223257897477831052007-10-08T12:36:00.000-05:002007-10-08T12:36:00.000-05:00Your kids are (should) be your number 1 priority. Therefore, why would you ruin their entire future by putting them in the KC school district. I'd find a way to get the hell out. I'm surprised Kansas City Mo isn't a ghost town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-68179310973730017972007-10-08T11:55:00.000-05:002007-10-08T11:55:00.000-05:00Why would you keep investing money in a loser? Doesn't make sense. You shouldn't throw money into this community just to make things better. Things might look better or smell better for awhile, but at the end of the day, it will all go back in the shitter. It is what it is. I'm glad I don't have to ask for fucking hand outs.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02101067907981929414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-54270519798488242722007-10-08T11:12:00.000-05:002007-10-08T11:12:00.000-05:00Those that care did do something, they left that shit-ass school district and they took their money with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-61606831255105415222007-10-08T10:08:00.000-05:002007-10-08T10:08:00.000-05:00Cmon Brent, poor Black folk can't help themselves - Whitey had to fix all their problems for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-71504280988369213862007-10-08T08:35:00.000-05:002007-10-08T08:35:00.000-05:00The point isn't blaming poor broke ass students for the state of the school district, but the people who abandoned the school district over the past 30 years so that that is all that is left. If parents who cared actually left their kids in the school district, then a lot of the KCMO school district's problems would disappear. Not all of them obviously, but a large number of them. I think this is a case where blaming the school board for all that is wrong is easy, instead of taking a look at the social responsibilities of the citizens involved to affect their own change.Brenthttp://btoellner.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.com
