This is OK. Isn’t this what rich people are supposed to do?
Some public schools in our area require uniforms. It cuts down on kids getting knifed for their Air Jordans. No shit.
I doubt ellen gave him a dime.
Take the $50k, buy the kids boxing lessons. I dealt with bullies over and over again in the different schools that I went to because of family issues, and that is what works.
Creepers would be surprised to discover that even in the most affluent areas, homelessness exists. My sister was horrified when she found out that her daughter’s friend was living out of a car on Long Island.
come a long way since Lean on Me NJ high school principal Joe Clark.
Trying to call attention to the rampant epidemic of child abuse in the United States is like screaming at a brick wall. People don’t want to take the issue seriously because acknowledging the extent of the problem is too much for them to deal with emotionally.
I am commenting on the policies that keep children in terrible situations where they are not cared for by their parents or family.
Many of these families use the monies given for the children for their own treasure and pleasure.
Children should not have to be in such situations. Our world today between homelessness and poor child care in the low classes is similar to England in Dickens’s day.
I think individuals can help of course. I think it stinks to have the government organizations act as enablers to lousy home life

These are principally the children of the low IQ population: girls who give birth as a teen and before they are married.
The whole syndrome of low income, low social status, criminality and out-of-wedlock children with few chances are all related to intelligence.
These are the factors discussed in the “Bell Curve” one of the most depressing books I have ever read but based on hundreds of social studies surveys mainly produced by libs but draw such overwhelming conclusions even they have to admit the sad truth.

GREAT story-——good for you.:-)

We had a pitiful boy in my son's K-5 class whose parents arranged "play dates" for him every night of the week. Around the time when they should have picked him up, they would call the host families and ask for the kid to stay over because one thing or another. One had a PhD and the other an M.D. They were both head shrinkers. (I pity their patients, but that's another story.)
The boy was a good child but was becoming an emotional wreck. I finally called up the father, a white man and a doctor, and gave him a point-by-point talking to about this neglect. His response? He wrote a letter to the editor of a major city newspaper about how black families neglect their children. I could not believe my eyes.
Liberals.
Larry Elder had three steps to avoid poverty.
I might have them messed up but basically it was stay in school and graduate, get a decent job before you get married, and get married before you have a child. Pretty much works.
That is right for almost every population. The problem is the lowest intelligence percentiles below 80 IQ None of the “solutions” show that much of anything can be done with those. They are our prison class, welfare recipients, dropouts, etc.

I know that all the reasons these kids need so much is due to their parents neglect etc.
But I think what Mr. Cook is doing is wonderful.
He cannot fix their families or their home situations. But he is doing what he can to help his students.
Bravo.
