School drop outs

Is the education system designed to suit the child or is the child made to suit the education system?

Help Numbers

Will it be helpful to have help numbers printed at the back of exercise books, so that from young children will know what numbers to call when they need help. If they are desperate and need help, all they need to remember is that it is just a phone call away. Will this reduce the number of young delinquents? They will no longer have the excuse that they did not know where to seek help. The yellow ribbon project is a very good initiative to help prisoners rejoin society, but it may be a liitle too late. Why wait for people to commit crimes before help is offered?

Job Seeker Mentality

A job seek mentality limits rather than expands the economy. A job seeker waits for jobs to be created. Is there a fear that with more educated people more jobs need to be created? Yes. Is there a fear that with more educated people in other parts of the world, jobs will be taken away? Yes.
