Delph, Monet and Jubilance,

Great posts. I think that as a race, what's needed is an enhancement to all things foundational in regards to our children and young people. Everything integral to their educational readiness and preparedness is stringent upon how well we ready them when they are in the most pivotol and impressionalbe stages/ages of their learning...between the ages of 2-8.

We as a collective of parents, teachers and folks in authority positions, or really, a village, must remember to impact the holistic persons that our children are. We must continue to "expect" them to follow the examples of our Christian walks, which will help to foster and empower our teaching them to be good student-citizens, but, this begins at home. As a race we are sort of losing the ability to make our children understand that, a requirement is that they "will" attend college, or join the military, or attend a vocational school, and further, we must foster in them the belief that they can be entrepreneurs, legal entrepreneurs that is.

Once we have re-focused ourselves on imparting what's essential into our children, then they'll have a much better chance at growing up ready educationally. Two of the most major lessons that I learned from gaining an education are, (1.) That it was a blessing to gain an education. (2.) That an education is a statement of your readiness and your ability to compete in this world, which affects one's level of trainability in regards to their chosen profession. Boy do we have work to do...

Very well said, the7th. And the subject of your post says it best, foundations are very key, and these foundations start at home.
