Education & Reference - 11 July 2006

I'm asking in concern to my city's public school district new idea of extended schooling.

The drop out rates are already higher than ten years ago and the district's debt is rather big so as a result the teachers have had their salaries "frozen" for five years.
There are many more problems than that but I need to know more pros and cons of year round schooling before I jump to a conclusion. I have read about it but I think there is more to it than facts.
I'll accept facts AND reasonable opinions on the topic as answers.

I do have some other income, but my debts are high. I could cut back, but I would like more advice.

I have an 11 year old and 7 year old that all they do is either go outside and play basketball or watch TV. I want them to learn something while they're on vacation.

More and more studies show that humans vary in their intelligence according to racial lines. Basically, median IQs are as follows:

1) Full-blooded African: 70
2) Full-blooded Native American: 80
3) Mixed White-African: 85
4) Mestizo White-Native Am.: 90
5) Middle Easterners: 92
6) South/South East Asians: 95
7) Europeans/Whites: 100
8) Sephardim Jews: 102
9) East Asians: 107
10) Ashkenazi Jews: 115

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_IQ

Further, studies show IQ and skin colour are directly related--the more melanin, the lower the IQ. See:

Wouldn't it be better to provide training to people according to their race? Thus Blacks and Natives could be trained for simple manual labour or to be soldiers, Hispanics and Mulattoes be channeled into semi-technical work and East Asians, Whites and Jews given charge of the sciences and engineering?

I just finished my first year of college and the first semester I passes all but one class. The second I had to withdraw from 3. When I looked on my college's website it said that if you fail from classes so that you only finished 67% then you get put on financial aid warning. Does that mean that I will still get finiacial aid but I need to make sure that I do well in all my classes? Does anyone know?

Over the past 2 years I have gotten myself expelled form all 4 high schools in my area. I've done dumb things with "friends" and got caught with marijuana a couple times. Now all the principles in the area say I'm not fit for home schooling either. I'm near Auburn Ca. and now the closest high school to me is in Tahoe. We can't mover there. I have no idea what I'm going to do for the next school year. I'll be in 12th grade. Any ideas?
