		<description><![CDATA[This is fine, but now in the interest of fiscal diversity we need to start tying social benefits to academic performance.  Why shouldn&#039;t we?   Since we&#039;re paying to feed, house and care for &#039;students&#039; we need to tie their welfare, section 8 and medicaid benefits directly to school behavior and performance.  


Next time little Shamikia disrepects a teacher, 1 week of food stamps will be forfeited.   Each day that Dontarvious and Jamal don&#039;t show up for schoolwill  result in the loss of 2 days worth of section 8 housing.    


For bad behaviors (those involving drugs or violence) the punishment shall be harsher.  Striking a teacher will result in immediate ejection from any publicly subsidized housing.  Bringing a gun to school will result it cutting off ALL benefits for life.   Actually striking a teacher will not only result in cutting off benefits, but also require that all of the families assets are seized and all past benefits be repaid in cash or by forced labor.  


If we&#039;re forced to pay for food, shelter and medical care, then why should we allow bad behavior with no consequences?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My husband was one of those, dropped out of school in his junior year, bored to death.  A few years later he took the GED to get his diploma tested in the 95%.  

Same with my youngest son, what a fight to get him into higher grade classes.  He qualified for the TAG (talented and gifted) classes in mathematics, but eventually they ran out of all math classes and sent him to the local community college to take college level math classes.  He got his adult high school diploma a year and a half earlier than if he stayed in high school.

Both had a bout with juvenile delinquency and both were caught early by the law and now both are business owners and productive members of society.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mao got the best of everything and the most of everything.

If you put away the labels of capitalism and communism, you can see he is the 1%. He just justifies it a different way.  He does so with brute force and a schtick.  The communists starved under him.  Then he got rid of Chinese intellectual capital and threw it to the wind.  By 1978 after 25 years of Mao and 4 years of his latest, greatest wife the Chinese were truly Effed!]]></description>
