Policy: One Man's Legacy

About the Book

The author feels that parents and/ or caregivers are responsible for providing the best opportunity experience that higher education has to offer. Further, responsible parties should confidently encourage them attend institutions of higher learning. By confidently, he means, knowing that there is a real possibility and available funds. The investment should start when the child is a toddler. Beware and observe the child’s interest and strengths-then encourage, encourage. Many people say it’s not for every one; I say give every child the funds so they can make that decision themselves. The author feels in today's society many parents and other responsible parties speak to children about attending schools of higher learning through strong encouragement but are we not willing or able to put the money aside for that day. We say that the government has a lot of programs for higher education and many of them you don’t have to pay back. But if there is a question of who has the problem pay them back, many of us will raise our hands and will be the first to say that I don’t need my child getting that kind of aid. I’m not saying the assistance we get from the government is not successful. I’m asking that the parents and guardians of our children play bigger roles when it comes to getting the children to a higher level of education. As parents, we are guilty of spending many of my resources on other things when raising our children. I realized I needed to put some back before getting the things that aren’t going to last. I believe that we can satisfy ourselves with the things that this country has, such as homes, new cars, games for our children, and clothes that have well-known names. The sad thing is when the homes are gone. After three years, many of the cars have problems; the clothes we bought have gone out of style. The money we spent over the years while raising our children many of us put ourselves in a financial bin. When and if graduation time comes, we attend our children’s ceremonies; and we sit there realizing we have no plan for our child. When you turn and look at them and say ask, what are you going to do now? Just think of the way they might look and feel. The government will work to make sure every child that attends any school starting from ages 5 to 19, parents, guardians or agencies have the responsibility of every child being placed in the child fund, Design kids /advance (policy), 3% or 6%. I feel that the children will know they are not just getting help from their teacher, they are getting help from the government, guardians and agencies as well; making sure they get needed opportunities. The author wants to make sure that when a child asks another child what they are going to do when he or she graduates; they are able to say, “I’m going to complete a higher level of education; instead of, “I don’t know!” This vision will help many kids such as: Children who drop out There are many reasons why children drop out of schools but one of the main reasons is because of the pressure they feel when trying to meet the objectives of schools or teachers set. When many of the parent’s gradients or agencies should be more involve by communicating with the children in developing objectives. Many of classroom objectives or set so high that the below average discouraged and tends to listen less each day until they do not fin what goal the find those goal interesting in class anymore so either cut classes or feeling the need not to attend at all. Parent if we invest back into our children changes in the drop out rate will go down and children will go back to schools with their own goals in mind. Children doing crime The vision will help police officer focus on crime that does not involve children. They can feel much safer knowing that an average child is in his class trying use the child fund to stay off the streets were there is trouble for young children today.
