i often spend time creating programs in my head to further interest in learning life skills for youngsters. the popular television programs do little to encourage our children to find a hobby or a skill. they show why our country is torn appart and education has taken a back seat to reality programs which are based VERY LOOSELY on reality. the discovery channel is still wonderful and their are several others with very positive programing with educational shows. i am interested in creating a program to teach sewing a upholstery skills. i am so disappointed that our educational system has taken out music lessons, carpentry, home economics, auto shop and drafting classes. everything has been taken over by computers and fine arts aren't taught at all anymore. the only hope our children have to learn to cook is by their parents which lessens with every generation. i had to teach jimee and jazmin how to boil water because their mother can't cook. how scary is it to think of the homes our children will be living in if they cannot prepare a healthy meal for themselves or their children. what ramifications will this have on the health of our world? have you ever stopped to think that the daily voilence is caused by boredom? if more people spent their time making a quilt or building a desk or perfecting the song they have written wouldn't they spend less time trying to be angry at a world that has not provided them with oppuritunity. it is my belief that the current recession that we are in is in part created by lack of experience. it is very hard to run a sucessful country if the majority of the citizens in your country lack the ability to maintain it. it has become an epedimic problem to find relaible, honest, skilled, trustworthy employees for nearly every labor -oriented company. mine included. how are we supposed to have sucessful companies without competent employees? i strongly believe that if we do not make steps to correct the downslide we have gotten ourselves into, we will lose the ability to pull ourselves out of it.
