I could not understand all of what he said but I got the gist.
What do you think?

 
The PS system is only thinking about the money when they give a child an "I" instead of a "D" or an "F". What they are doing is covering up the fact that they are not teaching your child. They do not want to lose that government money. Besides, they already have low expectation for a Black child (especially our sons). IMHO, I feel they really don't want Black children to succeed.
 
Here is an option:

Project Gutenberg has free books, here is one:

Badge of Infamy, by Lester del Rey
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/19471/19471-h/19471-h.htm

But some of these books have been converted into free AUDIO BOOKS by Librivox.

http://librivox.org/badge-of-infamy-by-lester-del-rey/

So a child can follow along in the text while the computer reads the book to her or him. If the parent can get them started then they can begin picking up the words as they go along.

So with a CHEAP computer....

More and more articles are appearing of schools supplying the kids with netbooks. Usually these are well healed schools and they are talking about $400 machines at a school with wireless networking and maybe their own IT staff.

It is not how powerful the computer is. It is what you do with it. Let the White kids read Shakespeare on their netbooks. Science fiction on the Sylvania is better. Get reading and science together. Actually those humanities people are down on science anyway. LOL They even select the wrong science fiction.

We depend on the schools too much.

um

That is exactly what the GOP, and Democrat White Supremists in fed and state gov are telling Black folks,

that they should expect nothing but foreign wars for their taxes!

Too dependant on schools?

That reminds me of the guy who saw a woman hit by a car and seriously unjured at 3 in the morning,
in an isolated area, and desided to use his cell phone to be a good samaritan and call an ambulance

but he came up with the same solution, also,
so he cancelled the ambulance call,
reached in his pocket and gave the dieing woman a bandaid and said

"You know you people depend on hospitals too much",
then
gave her his Ipad, with a list of some websites for first aid


and left her there!



Maybe a million parents in each and every state,
need to unify and get out in the streets like folks in Kemet and demand somehign substanial for their tax dollars

If the president will listent to them over there then he would hae to listen to 50 million US citizens over here.

Well I am forced to avoid using that language I would like to. I don't know what the banning policies are here.

Comparing an iPad to a hospital is absurd. You don't just get information from hospitals.

But these netbooks and tablets are more powerful than the mainframe that I submitted my FORTRAN programs at an expensive engineering school in the 1970s.

I say the White folks sending their kids to what most regard as good schools that give the kids netbooks are not doing what these machines are capable of. That was proven in Vero Beach Florida in 1987 and Intel did not introduce the 486 until 1989.
