Politically What Can We Do? According To UNICEF Research Center's Report????

... on the well-being of children, that the United States ranked 2nd to last. The report defined a child's "well-being" as a measure of health, education, relationships between peer and family members, risky behavior, and their own sense of happiness. No one country ranked first in all six categories, but the United States did not come first in any category. skirtmag.com unicef.org The "No Child Left Behind" Program left us dead last of any industrialized nation in Education and we have a higher high school drop out rate than before the Administration started the program. In my state alone, over 200,000 poor children of the working poor are uninsured ... even with the PeachCare Program. Is that really acceptable to us as USA citizens? Where will the welfare and needs of the USA's children rank with you when you support a Presidential candidate? Do you have any ideas or know what your local politicians do to support education? Do have any info to share with others?

Answer:We need to put more effort, time and money into children! Japanese teachers have more planning time than US teachers, and they know how to use that time efficiently. There is just no money to give teachers the tools and time that they need, and even when I had extra time as a teacher, I wasn't sure how to use it well. The WIC program is a joke. I probably qualify for it, but I just don't need 5 gallons of juice a week. The program is very well-intentioned and well-funded. The government buys more infant formula than anyone else. WIC is under-researched. The food they do give is not very healthy (juice, cereal, formula). Doctors are very quick to diagnose ADD, and other behavioral disorders in children. I believe that ADHD is a real issue, but my former students just needed rest, nutritious food and exercise. They didn't need IEPs and drugs, but the drug companies say that ritalin and Concerta are the way to treat these behavior disorders. The issue of health comes down to education. We need to teach health education all the time, and it's not just the responsibility of the schools. In fact, the teachers spend three weeks talking about nutrition and health, but the school cafeteria passes out junk food every day! The students where I worked are actually learning about UNhealthy eating behaviors. I believe that if we put time, effort and yes, money into our schools, teachers and day cares, our children will learn to take good care of their health, which will influence their overall education. These children will grow into smarter parents who can guide their children to make proper health decisions from birth! This will affect the health insurance issue: when more children are healthy, more children will be able to receive public insurance like PeachCare or Healthy Start. My experience with No Child Left Behind is that the special needs children aren't left behind because nobody learns anything. Do you think it's easy to explain to kids that their friend is going to color a picture about the lesson, while the rest of the class is expected to complete a worksheet? The kids turn their papers over and draw on the backs, and their parents are outraged that one child was allowed to color instead of complete the assignment! NCLB is a well-intentioned disaster. Let's scrap it and let the teachers teach the way they know is best for each individual situation. Education is second only to the war on my list of requirements for a presidential candidate(we're a military family with Daddy in Iraq). I'm looking for someone more intellectual. I like a candidate who likes to read research instead of looking for ways to make more money for himself.

Question For Clay Aiken: Does UNICEF Really Help Children If It Contributes To Abortion?

If UNICEF supports and promotes abortion, how can it be considered a pro-child organization? Here's UNICEF's "company line" on abortion: http://www.unicef.org/pon95/fami0010.html But, here's the boiled-down record of UNICEF: http://www.lifeissues.org/LifeIssues/moreinfo/unicef.htm http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/2/3/100524.shtml Don't believe it? Search UNICEF yourself: http://www.unicef.org/search.php?q=abortion What's a better option? Well, here are a few: https://www.samaritanspurse.org/Giving_Form_SSL.asp https://community.wr.org/NETCOMMUNITY/SSLPage.aspx?&pid=208&srcid=208 http://www.feedthechildren.org/site/PageServer?pagename=org_give

Views on World Poverty: Niger & Nepal (Non-Profit Use)
Price: $39.95
Manufacturer: UNICEF
UPC: 883629721842
This DVD includes two films about malnutrition and how it affects children and pregnant mothers.

Although the syndromes in each region are different, poverty is the root cause of protein energy malnutrition in Nepal and iron deficiency anemia in Niger.

Program One: Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, and less than a third of its population has access to any health care. Malnutrition remains the main cause of maternal and infant mortality and well over half of all pregnant women suffer from iron deficiency anemia. This program follows two traditional birth attendants as they try to persuade women to take iron folate supplements and visit hospitals, which is often prohibitively expensive. The program also visits Tanzania, where it is malaria that is blamed for the increase in anemia which, in some areas, affects 93 per cent of children under five.

Program Two: Nepal is trying to tackle the vicious cycle of infant malnutrition and poverty. Set in the visually striking valley of Kathmandu, capital city of Nepal viewers are introduced to Dev Kumari, a 42 year old migrant woman who struggles to sustain her large extended family. Her children and grandchildren are locked into an invisible cycle that is crippling Nepal's development. Protein Energy Malnutrition, or PEM, not only causes stunting, slow development, disease and death amongst young children today, it also has a disastrous knock on effect on each successive eneration - a cycle that is proving hard to break.
