native americans education?

Question

1- Should there be prayer in the public school?

2- Should tax money be used to fund private schools?

3- Should poor children be given free lunches at school?

4- Should there be sex education in the schools? If so, should it be taught in elementary school, high school, or both?

5- How much exposure to drugs is there at the schools in your neighbourhood? Is this a problem?

6- How important is a college education? Will it give you more status? Will you make more money with a college education?

7- Is which college you attend important, or are all colleges about the same?

8- What is the highest level of education your parents had? (What was the last grade completed or degree received?)

9- What is the highest level of education you have received? Do you expect to further your education?

Answer 1

1 - NO prayer due to separation of church and state except for private religious schools not support by taxpayer dollars

2 - Taxpayer money is for the running of municipal and state functions not private schools so NO

3 - Free lunches are based on ability to pay thus using those who pay taxes money to pay for what a parent should provide, a program that is currently available to all public school. Do I agree? Yes and no. In most cases the kids would not have anything to eat during the school day and thus not as attentive.

4 - Sex education does not advocate intimate relations but rather the human response to other people. In elementary school it would be to education, separated by gender, the child in bodily functions and not sex. In high school it would be a part of health education to ensure the youth is aware of the medical, financial and "parental" impact of sexual relations.

5 - Schools provide drug education from kindergarden up so the child has knowledge of the power and the danger of drugs, which also includes alcohol and cigarettes.

6 - College education is not the solution to anything. Today a bachelors education does not ensure a person a good job and a lifetime of financial security. I do not think it is the taxpayers responsibility to pay for each and every youth to attend college. College education teaches the person to think outside the box and develop knowledge and interest that could lead to a job. Either the person gets a job and works while they attend college or they have had grades in high school that indicate their positive success level in college.

7 - Each college is different and each has its positve aspects. But the basic bachelors degree is about the same at any college while the masters and PhD could be vastly different.

8 - Both of my parents eventually received a college degree after they were married and had kids, as did my grandparents.

9 - I had a bachelors and now retired but along the way I continued to get further education to foster my promotional status and ability to perform at a peak level in my chosen profession.

Answer 2

What do these questions have to do with Native American education?

If you are asking Native Americans for their opinions, you really do need to be more specific in how you phrase your opening.
