- W10921210 abstract "Those bundled up against blizzards in the Plains states often console themselves with the belief that the positive things in their states compensate for the cold. Suburban families go through a similar rationalization when they accept the isolation in exchange for the security and expansive lawns. Such choices to some degree deceptive, however, because no matter where one lives, high prices must be paid for ignoring those who don't enjoy the privileges of small-town or suburban living. It might come as a surprise to those in the Dakotas to realize, for example, that between 1993 and 1995 their policy makers slashed funding for higher education by 3% to 5%, while they increased funding for corrections from 35% to more than 42%. Or it might give those living in the suburbs pause when they realize that 17% of the children in their midst living in poverty - and that a large and growing number of them white. These data come from two national reports: one specifically deals with children in poverty; the other, with the links between state investments in education and the educational attainment and income of the neediest members of society. Together they wake-up calls not for the poor, but for the rest of us. In this, the richest nation on Earth, one out of every four children lives in poverty. That amounts to some six million children under age 6 (not counting the estimated 1.1 million children who will be added to the list when the new welfare reform takes effect a few months from now). Before we start conjuring up images of welfare moms when we hear these figures, we should remember that two-thirds of these children live in working families that not on the welfare dole. In addition, according to One in Four, the report of the National Center for Children in Poverty of the Columbia University School of Public Health, between 1989 and 1994 the poverty rate for white children grew twice as fast as that for black children. In fact, the report says, the poverty rate among white children in this nation substantially higher than that for children in other Western democracies. second report - Education Watch: 1996 Education Trust State and National Data Book - is an incredible collection of data compiled by the Education Trust, which is based in Washington, D.C. Four pages of statistical data, in chart form, describe each state's annual personal income by level of education and race/ethnicity, as well as each state's investments in education, percentage of students taking challenging academic courses, qualifications of teachers, student academic achievement, college completion rates, and so on. data show what each state is accomplishing with its minority populations, including even such fine-grained comparisons as the differences between freshman enrollment in college and degrees awarded. It is sobering news for educators and policy makers everywhere. True, more students than ever before earning high school diplomas, and more of them going on to higher education. But, says the Education Trust report, The diplomas and degrees we award mean little. Schools failing to educate most Americans to high levels. Furthermore, minority/poor students are consigned to an academic diet of low expectations and the most rudimentary skills. Trust, which is working with communities around the country to create a seamless system of education running from kindergarten through college graduation, goes further than any report so far in showing exactly where the money goes and exactly what results our investments buy. …" @default.
