for our children - what are we educating them to do?

who work long hours or the parents simply don't have the time?
- Why doesn't my school inform
us about college?

if you want a high demand job?

village" namely the church can assist the youth in striving towards excellence?

you to start the mentor program S.O.A.R.S.?
- Based on the nation that "it takes a village"
to raise and teach a child, what can be done and can we enhance non-parents to take an active role in the educational process
in the school districts within their communities?

with up to date books and supplies?
- With such emphasis placed on state testing how do you avoid
teachers neglecting low performing students because they might fail anyway?

on dealing with the lack of African History in the schools?

really dedicating themselves to helping the children exceed beyond the norm? Can we as a community keep the children and teachers
