No one wants to discuss the big elephant in the room.  It is not the school's responsibility that [b]people choose to breed children into the world[/b] that they can not afford to raise period!  If we are not going to discuss the larger societal problem of poverty, then injecting poor students into wealthy schools is pointless.

We are not discussing family planning, birth control, parental courses, parental counseling, etc. before these kids are even born.  The American society refuses to address poverty and now schools have to take on the impossible task of playing the role of a foster parent to kids who should not have been born in the first place from individuals who have no business [b]breeding children[/b].

My prediction is that many wealthy and UMC families will run to private schools.  Public schools will become flooded with FARMS, have limited resources, and have a ton of academic obstacles all because individuals refuse to utilize birth control.   This is a birth control issue and not a school issue.

Why are schools being blame for parent's lack of personal responsibility?   Why didn't these folks have access to birth control, financial planning courses, or parental classes before they decided to bring a child into the world?    We need to start teaching family planning, life skill courses, and financial planning starting in high school so that folks will learn from an early age  that is not okay to [b]breed children into poverty[/b].  Access to free birth control will decrease so many issues.  [/quote]

Generally, when we're talking about people, we say "have children."

"Breed" is used for animals, and when you use it for people, a reasonable reader will infer that you consider the people you're talking about as not fully human.

So you have never heard the phrase "well bred"?

You have never come across a reference to someone being a product of "good breeding"?[/quote]
