To reduce the rate of child poverty, they say that we need to remove obstacles to

employment, improve education, and strengthen the family. I don' t agree with the first

change suggested. I think that anyone is able to get some sort of job and work their way

up. I only think there are obstacles to employment if you're trying to get a job that you

don't have the skills or experience for. A homeless person, if properly motivated

probably could get a minimum wage job at some assembly line place. I think the first

change that people are focusing on is completely unnecessary.

The second step of improving educations, i strongly agree with. Because one out

of every five people that drop out of high school become poor, educational standards

should be strengthened. Teachers, school boards and principles (and anyone else I left

out) should employ everything possible to make sure that students stay active and

interested in school. I don't really know of any educational programs, but the family

could always get a tutor to help out with the students schoolwork.

On the third change, strengthening the family, much could be accomplished. Any

given family could start doing the well known family game night. Personally, I would

suggest staying away
