He said it was tough to leave his friends at Songhai Learning Institute and walk away from an afterschool program that taught him to play the trumpet

Too bad they never bothered to teach him to read and write while they were at it.

and when these poor under-educated kids try to get a job, they are forced to compete with illegals who work twice as hard for 1/2 the money.

Send him to me. He won't even have to leave the house to go to school. We'll spend mornings learning to read (english first, latin and hebrew can come later) and do math.

And then he can work his arse off for the rest of the day. All while getting lessons 'It is always time for school for midshipmen'.

He'd eat well, go to bed and sleep like a baby, and get up in time to sip coffee, watch the sun rise, and say his morning prayers.

Of course, I'd probably be jailed in a few days for violating his civil rights.

But he'd come out of it a decent man.

I did.

The problem is so bad that CPS has special staff who work in the CPS Students in Temporary Living Situations Office.

Well then we need to start spending more money on this situation.

For now, he said he hopes to be a bus driver or Streets and Sanitation worker, “and that’s about it.”

And more money on that 3 letter word jobs...jobs...jobs...

How embarrassing to stoop to such a level as to take a job as a relocation officer or garbologist.

The Chicago mayor, Chicago aldermen, the Cook County president, Cook County board members, Illinois governor, Illinois House, and Illinois Senate are all Democrat and/or Democrat majority controlled. They promote illegals who consume resources and take jobs. They promote welfare, foodstamps, and public housing but virtually no push for personal responsibility. They tax the crap out of people and businesses so producers want to leave. They likely have the most corrupt government in the nation.

And when the homeless, poor, jobless, uneducated, and hopeless line up next November at the polls, they will again vote for those Democrats who destroy their lives.

The Kenyan nationalized Sallie Mae, student loan program.

The Chicago Mafia's social tweeting network has begun informing students that when The Obammunist is reelected he will begin forgiving their loans, calling it taxs reductions. The students are then requested to begin contributing to al-Kenyata in small increments by credit card monthly.

Fatherless boys.

There was a discussion on Catholic Radio about the problem of what children do worst/best in life.
NOT surprising, children with intact families do better than single mothers, that is, fatherless children.

I've always believed that children 1-12 need mommy more than daddy but when children hit the teenage years...they need the HAMMER, the old man, dad, pop, papa, daddy, father--the man of the house.
My, isn't that old fashioned?

“Nationally, 1.6 million U.S. children lived in homeless shelters, motels, with relatives or other families or living on the street”

Living with relatives or other families isn’t “homeless”. What are the real figures?

Uh, it seems obvious to me that Jarvis is not, repeat not, college material.

This is a travesty

A huge majority of the “poor” is kids and it is not their fault.

Can’t we at least do something

For Heaven’s sake, this really galls me.

These kids will grow up into dangerous damaged people if something isn’t done

They should probably be asking the Homeboy aka Food Stamp President to kick back some of his re-election kickbacks, bribes and extortion money (to be about 1 - 1.5 billion) for those poor homeless chillins!

Too bad Jarvis doesn't live in Florida where virtual schooling is offered to students in grades K through 12. Heck, if he met the qualifications for free/reduced lunch, they'd even give him a computer.
