FIRST THINGS FIRST!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: MAXIMIZE THIS MOMENT, WHILE YOU CAN. Make the best of what is offered in public education, while you still can! It is on its way out. Given the all-too-public difficulties its students, teachers and administrators face, daily, with each other and with the general public and the rise of so-called "charter schools." The public's tax dollars now line private pockets, with no discernible benefit to American education. Free, public education was instituted by black Reconstruction governments, after the Civil War, don't forget. This was done to assure that the black former slaves were educated. So, stop making excuses about why your child cannot read or compute! Values drive achievement. Our forefathers, who had only a fraction of the worst opportunities afforded to the current generation, did much more with much less, in education and in every other worthy field. All these cries about "white supremacy" miss the mark! Black ignorance, stupidity and cupidity make "white supremacy" profitable! Bill Cosby had it right years ago. Too many blacks are their own worst enemy, regardless of socioeconomic strata! Maximize the moment, while you can!
