Common Folks

In Arizona we have a special breed of parents. I would normally say that it was the result of inbreeding but it is not. Mr Horn Superintendent of School attacked President Obama speech as being politically motivated. A president takes time to encourage student. Oh no, if a student hears and listens to Democrat the child is on a slippery slope to becoming a liberal, then thinking and oh my goodness the evil of sitting goals. What the h--- is wrong with educators and parents who think this rubbish. Perhaps parents could get involved with the students education. Oh my, yes I know they have computer games, tv programs and of course the family that watches stupid programs stays together or do they?. I think that Mr. Horn has shown his hand, he wants to run for a more public office probably in a political party different the Democrat. Can you spell transparent Mr. Horn?

Lets look at some effects of sex education or a parents refusal to get involved.
Teenagers will practice unsafe sex. This can result in pregnancy or death. There was a campaign a few years ago, Get drunk or high, get stupid, get dead. Of course there are dangerous social diseases, HIV to AIDS, etc. Looks look at teenage pregnancy. Each day I speak to parents ages from 13 to plus 25. One parent had six children prior to her 23st birthday. She was demanding an extension of TANF 60 life time benefits had expired. I explained the process. She stated that she would just move in with her mother because it was too difficult to fill out an application with the associated hardship extension. I wounder what the mother is going to do to support her family. It appears that she will be willing to work at minimum wage. (Now how would goal sitting have assisted this young student prior to having the most of intimate relations.

When I was in high school, I hated high school. I lived on an Army Base. I thought that it would be the coolest thing to join the Army and go to special traing. I approached my parents they explained that it was the dumbest idea of many in my youth and they refused to sign the enlistment papers.

When I was a young Man I went to college a year earlier than my graduation. I studied and learned that the World was a big place. I had the opportunity of representing my Church on a Mission to Finland. I came home and I got drafted. Yes I served in the military. Because of my high test scores I was given special assignments. I extended for two years additional years and I had a blast working with lawyers, investigators, learning short hand, preparing permanent records. I then applied and got an ROTC scholarship. I got a BS, was commissioned an officers, was trained in Air Defense Artillery, as military police investigator and working in units above corp.

I then went to law school.

This Rambling note just means, set the highest goals possible. Make wise choices, discuss goals with parents, teachers, work hard. Graduate from High School. For young parents, finish high school. Go to college it is better to be a LPN than a cook at McDonalds. Some choices result in more hardship. Remember there are grants, student loans, some programs give greatly reduced fees for day care. I do not know how a parent can go to college and not have subsidized day care.

Just a few more notes. Social Service Clients each state has professional employers. If you miss a application date, its a late application. Don't demand expedited FS, you may not be eligible if you received FS in the month before. Don't threaten to fire me, you don't have the authority, If we follow the rules you probably do not have standing. Do you really think that you can justify a civil rights complaint if I treat you the same way as every customer. Just because you may not like what you hear does not mean that a supervisor will change our instructions to you. Oh yes, I am now well over 50 and I can allege age discrimination and I know how to draft a complaint. I am here to help. Don't be stupid, we are over work, stretch to the breaking. Treat us fairly, or at least polite. If you disagree request a Fair Hearing. I wish that you could spend a afternoon
