Folks, since the 1960s America entered a new dark age called secular humanism.
The good news is, throughout history every dark age has always been followed by an age of enlightenment and moral revival, for example, the era of our Founding Fathers.
The next age new age of enlightenment is closer than most people think.
Hey Joe, you're starting to sound like me now.
I've stated many times that a highly probable event of massive proportions featuring worldwide misery and chaos is necessary for such a new age of enlightenment to occur.
I suppose you think a McCain victory, Republican policies, plus some carefully drafted posts here at the friendly Rx Politico cyber pub is enough to do the job?
hno:
This is a good thing. Every parent should beat there child if they fawk up in school. Not just Asian parents.
ope:On a serious note, DC schools are really really bad. If this helps in anyway then its a blessing. 50% the kids there acting up are screwing up the schools for the 50% that want to learn.

'barnman" to his kids: Do your homework! Or...or...or....I'll pay you $15 an hour to do so! :lolBIG:
Most all parents I know including my own paid kids to go and do well in school. Now it was the 15 dollar an hour crap u was saying but it was a different kind of motivation.
Question: What motivates most kids 7th grade and below to do well in school?
Answer: They are not thinking about college. They are not feeling good of self accomplishment. For most kids if I make honor roll or get good reports I get the new xbox game for my bday or some new clothes for christmas. Or my aunt is going to give me 20 dollars for making honor roll.
This is the way I was raise. Rewarded for doing good and punished for doing bad. As I got older in high school and stuff rewards slow down as my parents went into the stage of you dont always get rewarded for things you suppose to do.
Now to these D.C. school kids and why this example is relevant. Most of the parents can not reward their kids for doing well. So they have no real motivation to do well except of the fact of getting in trouble. But getting in trouble aint as bad as it use to be. So they need some sort of motivation factor and this is where the 100 dollars come in.
Also Im for anything to help these kids. If you have ever rode on the green line or red line in D.C. metro you would see why.
Barman Jr recently relocated down here to Clearwater and will be entering St Petersburg College in January.
I've agreed to pay him $150 a week if he reliably attends and passes 12 credit hours.
If he does the job, I help supplement his 40hour per week employment which he'll be doing along with college.
If he fails to do the school right, he is left with only his full time job to support his apartment and living expenses.
