Many parochial and private schools have done well because they supply the classroom with well structured materials. Public schools seem to be doing less and less of this.

When an employee making $15 an hour or more says that they cannot afford less than $50 a month for health insurance but continues to smoke, I wonder where our priorities are. Let low-income buy into Medicaid much like seniors buy into Medicare, put self-employed people with similar occupations into large groups and finance it through both the employees and the employers. Welfare recipients should get a small amount deducted from their checks. Shore up the County health Departments.
