"Remember Where You Were."

As the lay-offs and pink slips continue to be handed out to teachers, and as public schools close faster than the breaking of the sound barrier, one thing seems crystal clear, education for every American youth and adolescent is nearing extinction.

Did you ever think you would live to see the demise of education in the great Republic? Did you ever think that in 2010 you’d see quality and effective education provided to only a select few in America?

Currently, there are more than 50 million Americans that are functioning illiterates, and in 2015 the number will increase to more than 60 million. By 2025, it is estimated that there will be 90 million illiterate Americans, mostly youth and adolescents that will become one of the fastest growing populations in U.S. history.

Remember where you were because one day you'll tell your great grandchildren you were present during the "education genocide" of youth and adolescents in America.

How did we get to this chapter of an American tragedy?

Well it began with:

Chapter 1:
"How Parents and Caregivers Effectively Failed their Children."

Followed by...

Chapter 2:
"The Failure of the Community to Assists the Parents and Caregivers to Raise Our Youth and Adolescents."

Then there was...

Chapter 3:
"The Complete Failure and Betrayal of the Public Schools System."

Finally...

Chapter 4:
"The Rise of the American Penal System and the Need to Feed the Machine.”

We are all guilty because we fell way too short of supporting the children who looked to us--the adults--for nurturing, love, and guidance to become well-rounded beings with high morals and to be productive citizens in the universe. We are guilty!

Remember where you were. Remember the day, hour, minute and second because one day, you’ll tell your great grandchildren of the day you saw the great Republic’s citizens revert back to ignorance, and barbarism.
