When I was a teacher in the public school system, I tried. I tried to teach values; i tried to teach the children to think for themselves. The big problem where I taught is that parents were so concerned about survival they didn't have time to spend with their children. There are many different levels of families and the more affluent families who send their children to public schools have the means to be involved in the education the children get. It is the parents who have to struggle for survival whose children suffer and that has nothing to do with color , or race or anyother prejudice you care to dream up. It is our children we all need to think about now because they are our future
