what if the kids gang them, get the gun, start shooting up all their friends and the teachers .. maybe give them guns which relly on the cops hand print to arm, and some none lethal weapons also.

I don't think the police officers at the schools have guns...
They are just security guards with uniforms...helping children cross the road...and ensurance that their shirts are in their pants.
and getting $1800 dollars a month to do that.

Boot camp...not that namby pamby andros camp for those little punks..

As I have said many times before it is the sign of deep pathological sickness when a society looks at its children as enemies.

How counter seventh generation thinking this placing of arm policed in school is. They are our children. They are not enemy combatants. This is not an occupational zone. It is a school. This is a deep pathological symptom, when a society views its children as enemies of the state and must be watched by arm guards, we well as might place up chain link fence guard dogs guard towers, metal detectors, steel bars in each class, this is the natural progression of this idea. Are these the ideas and practices that will take us to the mythical develop nation status? Are these the ideas and practices that show great leadership? I wonder what happen to the parents and the grand parents the aunts and the uncles, the cousin the immediate family and the extended family, the neighbors. This placing of armed police in schools mean that all these units that make up a society are failing, dose it not make more sense to strengthen these units. Unless we really sit down and think about are actions we will always come up with suboptimal plans? As a country and we are not alone in this we have a habit of finding the most assine policies and then we pat our selves on the back as if to say aint it great.
What is the solution, I have already hinted at it, our country like all country are made up of smaller social units, this is why critical thinking is so important, this is why they don’t teach it in school or at the university level as well, because if we thought critically we would be another country instead of celebrating are incompetence, but I digress for a moment. But families, parents grand parents, aunties uncles neighborhoods, this is where are energy should be directed, these are the units that must be brought back to working order. Here are the units where a codes of conduct (the matrix of a culture I am going to pursue this concept in future post) come from, this is where I learnt, I never needed any armed police in school, I was not perfect, nor were my class mates perfect, but we had a codes of conduct that was instilled in us by family and reinforce by the various layers of the society, but even back then you could see as society was tending towards Americanization how these practices were not being preserved.

And all of our problems will be solve. Yeah, right. Either a total revam, or release the titans, you know, the dooms day device. either one. Its closer at hand. nothing is making sense. God help us all.

Bey its obvious you een never been to boot camp.

Have you ever been by the mall or on Bernard Road after 3pm.If you have you won't say what you just did.My take is they need either the Roit Squad or Defence Force Marines in these two areas, cause the officers they have there now are just not cutting it.

I knew that if I just waited more of the symptoms of this neo colonial culture would appear. This is what Yoric Brown misses the subtleties of life, when the colonized mind mouths the doctrine of the oppressor lets here from the mouth of the horse (metaphorically of cause)

This is what happens when you do not instill with in the people a sense of collective responsibility, this is why we need to close the borders, stop our kids from going abroad to study until we can fill their empty heads with a national culture. I am going to look back at the thread The Essential Theory And Praxis Of National Culture http://www.bahamasissues.com/showthread.php?t=2572&page=6:

evoke the concept of Kawaida from the book From Plan To Planet Life Studies: The Need for African Minds and Institutions. Page 80 :

“………Umoja- Unity: To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

Kujichagulia-Self-determination: To define ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.

Ujima-Collective work and responsibility: To build and maintain our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together.

Ujamaa-Cooperative Economics: To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other business and to profit from them together.

Nia-purpose: To make as our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

Kuumba-Creativity: To do always as much as we can in the way we can in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

Imani-Faith: To believe with all our hearts in our parents, our teachers, our leaders, our people, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.”


These are the seven principles we want to instill in our people, once instill can you imagine the new society?:eek:

As I have said many times before it is the sign of deep pathological sickness when a society looks at its children as enemies.


You are right...and shouldnt have even joked about it!

Namaste all, it is so exciting reading an article such as this one. I say what we are needing most in the Schools is qualified teachers with a passion for learning and not these dumb bunnies who enter the trade because no other would have them. Lease i forget where is Abaskan-Moon Angel?:sailing:

Check out this article. This is an example of what our youth can be provided we exposed them and nuture them to greatness. Our youth are the keys to our future. Unfortunately, in the penal/school/miltary system that we send our youth to, thousands of black male youth were perish because we (as a community, as parents, as family members, and as elders) don't make a concerted effort to educate them or expose them to people who educate. Each one, teach one, to Reach many.Reggie

Kids Build Soybean-Fueled Car

Feb. 17, 2006

Quote

"If you give kids that have been stereotyped as not being able to do anything an opportunity to do something great, they'll step up."

Simon Hauger,
teacher at West Philadelphia High School

(CBS) The star at last week's Philadelphia Auto Show wasn't a sports car or an economy car. It was a sports-economy car — one that combines performance and practicality under one hood.

But as CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports in this week's Assignment America, the car that buyers have been waiting decades comes from an unexpected source and runs on soybean bio-diesel fuel to boot.

A car that can go from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than 50 miles to the gallon would be enough to pique any driver's interest. So who do we have to thank for it. Ford? GM? Toyota? No — just Victor, David, Cheeseborough, Bruce, and Kosi, five kids from the auto shop program at West Philadelphia High School

The five kids, along with a handful of schoolmates, built the soybean-fueled car as an after-school project. It took them more than a year — rummaging for parts, configuring wires and learning as they went. As teacher Simon Hauger notes, these kids weren't exactly the cream of the academic crop.

"We have a number of high school dropouts," he says. "We have a number that have been removed for disciplinary reasons and they end up with us."

One of the Fab Five, Kosi Harmon, was in a gang at his old school — and he was a terrible student. The car project has changed all that.

"I was just getting by with the skin of my teeth, C's and D's," he says. "I came here, and now I'm a straight-A student."

To Hauger, the soybean-powered car shows what kids — any kids — can do when they get the chance.

"If you give kids that have been stereotyped as not being able to do anything an opportunity to do something great, they'll step up," he says.

Stepping up is something the big automakers have yet to do. They're still in the early stages of marketing hybrid cars while playing catch-up to the Bad News Bears of auto shop.

"We made this work," says Hauger. "We're not geniuses. So why aren't they doing it?"

Kosi thinks he knows why. The answer, he says, is the big oil companies.

"They're making billions upon billions of dollars," he says. "And when this car sells, that'll go down — to low billions upon billions."
