ChicagoCrime In 2008: 314 U.S. Soldiers died in Iraq  In 2008: 509 people were murdered in Chicago Ref: NowPublic.com In 2008: 86.8% of Juvenile Arrests were between ages 14 and 16 In 2008: Caucasians accounted for 3.5% of all Juvenile Arrests  Hispanics: 18.0% and African Americans: 78.1%  In 2009: 18,287 Juveniles (Under age16) were arrested Over 25% of these arrests (4,597) were at Chicago Public School Buildings These included 1,326 Simple Battery, 644 Disorderly Conduct ,480 Drug Abuse and 124 Larceny arrests, etc.  Each Chicago Resident has a 1 in 82 chance of becoming a victim of Violent Crime in Chicago Ref: NeighborhoodScout.com “Chicago is not Safe” “Juveniles need better Morals and Ethics” Ref: ChicagoPolice.org & blogs.vocalo.org
Chicagoeducation 2009 Test Results 62,146 tests were taken 60.7% of Asian Students met or exceeded standards 40.7% of Native Americans met or exceeded standards 28.9% of Hispanics met or exceeded standards 16.7% of Blacks met or exceeded standards There was no significant difference between Male & Female results for any given  category  NOTE: That the Racial Groups with the lowest Test Scores also had the most Incidents of Arrests (Blacks & Hispanics) This suggests that either Inadequate Education is resulting in Crime or that Crime is resulting in Inadequate Education (Either way; Crime & Education are related) “Chicago’s Children need to Meet the Standards” “Minority Children need the most help!” Ref:research.cps.k12.il.us/cps/accountweb/Reports/citywide.html
Teenage Pregnancy As of 10/26/09 : Robeson High School, a struggling public school in Englewood reported that one out of every seven girls was either pregnant or had already become a mother. (That’s just one High School) Everyone knows that Teen Pregnancy increases Teen Dropout Rates and increases Teen Anxiety Teen Mothers are less likely to earn a College Degree, are more likely to be Unemployed, end up in Bad Relationships and more likely to raise their children as Single Parents “Too Many young girls are getting pregnant, too early” “Teen Boys and Girls need better Values”
What our children need Children need better Morals and Ethics  Children need to meet Education Standards  Children need better Values Morals Values Ethics
Who’s the teacher? Single, working Mothers, who also go to school to better themselves and provide for their children, have very little time with their children to teach Morals, Values and Ethics Schools, who have 7 to 10 hours with children, each week day, teach Math, English, Social Studies, Science and Physical Education; but no Morals, Values and Ethics  The Streets, who have children 6 to 8 hours per day, teach Morals, Values and Ethics. The Wrong Ones! Each Week: 30 to 40 hours of: The Wrong Morals, Values and Ethics! No wonder why our kids are lost!
Common sense logic Fact: Children with better Morals, Values and Ethics, do better in school.  Fact: Better educated children do better in life Fact: In localities with better education, there is Lower Crime, Lower Dropout Rates, Lower Teen Pregnancy Rates, Higher Employment, Better Wages, More Two Parent Households, Less Divorce, etc. Most Agree: That parents aren’t taking the time to teach proper Morals, Values and Ethics to their children and it’s unrealistic to think we can make them all “But our kids need this education!” Fact: Education in life is not limited to Math, English, Science, etc., so why do we limit the education that is taught in our schools to Math, English, Science, etc.?
Solution Morals, Values and Ethics added to the school curriculum from Pre-School, through High School, as well as required Extracurricular Activities for Student s Summer Vacation reduced to 30 days The remaining 60 days added back into the school year 30 of those 60 days used to offer four separate, one week, mini-vacations during the school year The remaining 30 days used to stretch out the normal curriculum, allowing nearly 3.5 hours per week for actual Morals, Values and Ethics Classes, based on an approved curriculum. Classes can include, books, interactive activities, movies, role model visits and when 7 hours are saved, field trips can be taken to hospitals with AIDS Patients and Crack Babies and to Prisons, as well as Museums and other places that inspire, etc.
Summary of Marketing Strategy Establish one or more model schools that embrace a professionally designed curriculum that includes Morals, Values and Ethics (Preferably churches) Monitor and track predetermined indicators for a period of not less than two years and compare the results to the same monitored indicators of similar Public Schools in the same or similar communities. Simultaneously promote the value of our positive results to Businesses and Politicians so that opposition is at a minimum when this idea is eventually proposed for our Public Schools.
“The Let’s Change the world” movement In the end, this is still a country of the people, by the people and for the people. People are the engine that get things moving. We are the people!  No longer can the education our children receive, be limited to Math, English and Physical Education. How to balance a checkbook, how to handle credit and how to socialize with people who are not like you are also valuable lessons to learn. Conflict Resolution and The Golden Rule are just as important as Math. What good is Algebra, when you are on drugs or in jail?  It’s time for somebody to do something. If not now, then when? If not here, then where? If not us, then who?  THANK YOU!
