Socialization (orsocialisation) is a term used by sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists, political scientists and educationalists to refer to the lifelong process of inheriting and disseminating norms, customs and ideologies, providing an individual with the skills and habits necessary for participating within his or her own society. Socialization is thus ‘the means by which social and cultural continuity are attained’.
You can't expect teachers to educate children who aren't socialized.
Either fix this shortcoming within these chidren... or forget about everything else.
I understand and appreciate what you are saying. How might this be accomplished?
The National School Lunch Act has been around since 1946. High schools, with facilities for hot lunches, were the first to incorporate it. Is it possible your family may not have been aware of it or too proud to apply, assuming they qualified fopr a reduced or free lunch.
As an aside, my sister's favorite lunch was the DIY ketsup sandwhich. Thank yolu for the memory.
A very very large portion of poverty is imported poverty. Over 25 million are here illegally and they have the sky high birth rates that are creating a very large growth in poverty.
Having children here gets them a pass around the immigration laws and instant welfare handouts.
Have you counted them? The estimate that seems most consistent is around 11 million. Do you have a link to a source that estimates 20 million?
Mandatory birth control shots before the first check is issued. How about sterilization for anyone on public assistance more than say, two years. No additional benefits for additional children born during that time. That's plenty of time for anyone to make serious progress towards getting back on their feet.
And sterilize anyone receiving a jail or prison sentence of more than six months.
Time to clean out the bottom of society's barrel. Within a generation, the poverty problem would be either eliminated or greatly minimized.
If you want sweet talk, go see your mom. I'm here with workable solutions!
Yeah - the Nazis had this same ideology. You do realize that this is so unconstitutional it's ridiculous, right? You can't force people to use birth control and you can't sterilize them. Good grief.
Solution? Sure.
Require a license in order to have a child, one that will only be granted if you meet the qualifications.
Why not? You need one to get married, drive a car and many other less important things.
On a certain level I agree with you and acknowledge the Communist underpinnings. One has to receive training and pass test to drive and yet nothing is expected of the bio mother and father.
If a license were required , what becomes of a child conceived without a license? Compulsory abortion? Adoption?
