I was very excited to hear that a program existed that I have been dreaming about for years. I think a "Fun ed" class for all agaes, but geared to the younger ages. Using closed down malls I could see us building a learning center that teaches any subject. Playing an insterment to painting, cooking, raising children, or computers. Experienced people could voulnteer to teach what ever they are qualified to do. I wrote to Discovery last month and told them a show that featured different classrooms aroung the United States would be very popular. Think of trying to teach how to work on cars geared to 11 years old. They could start with very basis and work up to rebuilding a hot rod. How about cooking, sewing, dancing, fiddling, exercise. photogrphy. We could also have classes that help children be better in public school and graduate. But a lot of young kids dont continue and graduate and they need skills to support their famlies. If we brought the family into a safe enviroment provided them a means to buy their kids supper, and then relax or take a class at the same time their child was taking a class we could change peoples lives. Meet the needs of families just trying to keep it together in todays fast world.
I would love to come meet with you and explain in a little more detail my ideas.S Newton 903-815-1341
