If they don't get decent grades (or at least passing), the family loses the funding. We are paying billions of dollars in tax money for assistance programs for people who could care less about improving themselves, all they are doing is passing the same problem on to the next generation. There are, of course, exceptions - people who have fallen upon hard times and are doing the best that they can. That is exactly what the programs are designed for. But the vast majority that are on welfare or other government programs do not even try to better their situations. Laws need to be changed so that if they want the assistance, they earn it. If they don't want to make the effort, they lose the assistance and are on their own to figure it out.

A vicious cycle. As a liberal I acknowledge some of the failures of the Great Society and the welfare system. --- In [email protected], "oakdorf" <oakdorf@...> wrote: > > then if the kids don't get good grades - then what? > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
