[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We as a society need to realize that schools are not, and should not be, a place to address all of these social issues. They should be there for one thing-educating our children. We should be concerned that if schools remain closed children may not be fed, but SCHOOLS are not the vehicle to address nutritional needs of our citizens, and secondary and tertiary issues like school lunch or mental health should not be involved in the decisions regarding opening schools.

It is time to restore the notion that government does not exist to solve all of your problems. People are pushing to expand government more and more. What is needed is the exact opposite. [/quote]

While I agree with the conservative point that there needs to be more personal responsibility, I'm also a realist.  You can't wave a magic wand and have people only have kids if they can take care of them and have more two parent households again.

1. High poverty ghettos exist across the country rural white and native american areas, suburban hispanic populations, and urban black areas

2. It is more efficient and cheaper to deal with poverty issues when people are younger instead of waiting until they become adults

3. All children must attend schools so focusing on schools as the center for services is also efficient.

4.  All government programs need to be evaluated to see if they work and no one should expect to have government support for life if they are able to work.
