GOVT MAY CUT EDU A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM -- WHAT TO DO?!?
Sep 4, 2010

A local (low-income Appalachian region of OH) college has a program in a local high school that guides 8th graders to seniors to do well and go on to additional education after graduation. The funding was provided due to the observed need. ...The program has been very successful!! Now the govt may take away the funding because "the need no longer exists". OF COURSE, the need will quickly be obvious when funding ends!!!!! WHY stop something that works so well???? I would also suggest investing in our nation by providing more employment opportunities within the region for all these folks in poverty trying to get ahead with more edu & training, etc.!!!! 

PLEASE, share your views about this situation.
