TN Repub state Senator wants to tie welfare benefits to kids' academic performance

[BillBanneker]

Hell No

Look at polls fool.

You first idiot, I can tell that memphis education is working real well.

Not trolll here at all....
SOunds like a good idea in theory. If you can't help your kids to get a passing grade D...1.0gpa...then damn. Your job essentially would be to make sure the kid shows up AND is at least making an effort. Do you realize how hard it is to get a D while actually going to school?

If you're suspended fine I get it, a D is probably not going to be possible, if you're ditching it's doable, but a little harder. To actually show up though, and get a D...really? We can't hold ourselves to the D standard?

Again this is sound in theory, i'm assuming there would be special circumstances for special needs kids but ultimately how is this bad?

My idea would have been this plus in the cases where an able bodied person was receiving assistance they should be required to perform some community service, like 5 week or something.

Welfare is a problem, it has turned from a helping hand into a mental crutch. I'm not for taking it away, but what's wrong for asking someone to work a little for what they get for free?

Or even better yet, particularly for food stamps, limit what can be purchased. I see far to many micro wave dinners junk food. Limit that shyt to healthy food, or at least cut off some of the items you can purchase.

So instead of the children's parents furthering their own lives and getting themselves out of the position they are in they will play nanny till their children are finished with grade school?

Rethink your position

The rest are all separate issues.

I'm from Dallas.

You resulting to name calling when proving wrong, shows your low education level.

 

[MostReal]

Just an excuse to take away lower income families benefits

well it seems a little cooky, but im not actually against it

exactly, I'm like...kids can't get a D- now

If a parent can't get their kid to get a D- gpa then they shouldn't be a parent (I'm not talking special needs kids)

 

[El Bombi]

lol why would you compare your state to texas....y'all share no similarities

should've picked a swing state to learn from....there are tips in their political evolutionary process your state would best be served to understand and utilize

Actually I'm from Texas and now live in Tennessee. So I have a better understanding about both states than you.

And wasn't even comparing both states. I was responding to somebody else who quoted me.

[theworldismine13]

this is why black people have to separate themselves from leftist politics, people are getting worked up about something that will have little to no impact on black people

Sit your dumb ass down! - YouTube

So you have no idea what you're talking about, and you've proved nothing aside from you love for martin.

...so taking care of your kid and assisting them in their education is "playing nanny"????
W...T....F.... : really?
I guess wiping your own ass is "playing" sanitation worker too?
How about cooking? Should they cook for their kids, or would that be asking them to "play" chef too? What about when the kid falls down and hurts themselves? Is putting a bandaid on them asking them to "play" doctor?

GTFOH with that nonsense.

Do you realize the level of I DON'T GIVE A FUK you have to exert on a child for them to get D's? I mean really? D's 88...D's.

 

[Serious]

You are really supporting this bullshyt? Really bruh? You don't see the utter inanity in making social welfare benefits for adults dependant upon what children do? Do you know how many factors go into a child's academic performance?

Hell fukking yeah..

This a slap in face, as a black male and as a black person.

No excuses no apologies, bring this topic up on a podcast and i'll murder it.

a f*cking D-

Students get C- / D+'s all the time for just showing up

It's not wonder the Little Rock 9, look at this generation in disgust:

yeah i'd really like to hear a decent argument as to why a person cannot help their kid get a D in school.

Shoot for the stars n shyt.

only thing i agree with is cutting benefits if parents arent sending their kids to school

once theyre in school thats on the teachers imo

as far as welfare goes...imo it should have a finite term of payment. and then give substantive tax credits for low income families

the problem with welfare is people on it not actively seeking work or doing "just enough" to stay on welfare indefinitely which wasnt its purpose.

who the fuk told you something like that, the parent is ultimately responsible for a child's education not the school

that attitude is one of the reasons kids do bad in school

If they aren't focusing on anything else absolutely. If they have to focus on eating and having a roof over their heads or actually becoming productive members of society what do you think will happen?

I walked to school and took the subway growing up. If I didn't go or did badly I knew I would fail and that's all it took. I didn't rely on my parent for help with my homework and a child should not. How else are kids going to learn? This is the same as just pushing kids through the system which apparently some of you are fine with. Hey long as they attend they pass! This is despicable and totally unacceptable. No wonder there are so manny maladjusted people in our society. I'm pretty sure a child in grade school can wipe their own ass. Could you? I don't know what children are supposed to do. No one had it easy you ate at school and you ate late at night granted your parents worked. I could cook any meal for myself by the time I was 12.
Coddle your kids till they are good for nothing it's the American way!

A child should be able to exert themselves without external pressure. Isn't graduating and doing well enough? Doesn't it feel good to succeed?
You must be a parent of the "here's a gold star generation".
