think I could drive a car, fool

"more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year
United Way launched a 10-year initiative to cut the number of high school dropouts in half by 2018"
I dropped out of high school. 


"The cost? More than $312 billion in lost wages, taxes and productivity over their lifetimes."
It seems that United Way equivocates success in the workplace as success in life. Lost wages, lost productivity as a person. Is it so fucking hard to believe that the oil mogul Rockefeller helped develop compulsory school?


"When Mom comes home, she and Erick read together. She gets books from the library that are right for his age, and looks for everyday moments to use those words, ideas and sentences. They talk about what's happening in the story, and what might happen next. "
Both my parents read to me as a kid. I also liked to make farm animal noises and I was obsessed with my own socks. I was left to my own devices to figure out what the fuck was happening.


In the story of two children, the successful student goes on to a rewarding future while Tommy, the drug selling dropout goes on to a life of crime. This is such a blatant expression of fear for the rouge thinking minds that I'm not sure how far they are willing to take it to secure their future as leading people. 


They continue to stress the danger of minds left to their own devices. The misuse of resources if you don't conform to our system. You need us to function!



I'm not going to lie, that was found on their site. After a near perfect stretch of self education and literacy, Rockefeller and others design and introduce a compulsory system and literacy has been going down ever since. Don't take my word for it, go, read it yourself. 

Give every child the same oppertunity. 
They suggest birth to 21, when most of your learned behavior (0-7, really) is adopted. 

It's heavily suggestive, non-scientific and manipulative at the core. 
Early learning prepares tomorrow's workforce!
