SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

I would think even at the cost of education the benefits of education would out weigh the cost when you look at it from a future stand point which would include the future of the children, if they have successful parents the odds of the children continuing their education I would think would also be higher in which that would help break the welfare cycle that is seen in many families..and possibly reduce crime as well.

Nancy, I agree with you. It is considerably less expensive to provide college educations than it is to pay for welfare and/or prisons. Statistically, a child is more apt to attend college if their parent went to college. A higher rate of higher education in any community produces a smaller crime rate in that community.

You wouls be assuming that the kids have parents, and in a lot of cases they don't. We have kids raising kids now days.
Yes we do have kids raising kids, that is because society has accepted it. Once accepted by society it will be hard to change that back, but that doesn't mean education has to end, it just needs to be structured differently. There are also alot of adult parents out there with an IQ level equivelent to that of a child. Most welfare issues are due to lack of education. I think alot of times where a juvenile has a child it is to fulfill something that is lacking in there own personal home life, such as love, affection and attention. Most homes now have both parents working to make ends meet and to keep up with what is expected in society and/or single parents,that doesn't leave a well structured childhood with quality family time activities and parent involvement. Children are left alone after school to tend to themselves which results to much time on there hands and they tend to get into trouble. I think it all goes back to how society has developed the expectations of people and lack of education availability.

I wan't refering to juveniles having children, but rather adults with so much of a child like attitude that they can't even raise thier own kids. Your statements about the parents both working just compounds the problem. Even if you do have both parents in the home, there has to be parents that will make the kids take advantage of the education, and currently we don't. It's more important to the parents that the kids don't feel bad about anything rather than make them do home work, etc.
I believe in making this world better for our children, but not for our children's children... Because children shouldn't be having children.
