There is always a choice in life and the problem is that absent or absent minded parents keep allowing their children to make choices that grown ups should be making. You can’t blame education for not getting an edducation. Not having is no excuse for not getting.

good article ,all above comments are right and give food for thought … where do we go from here ? how do we begin to incorporate all this into daily living ? do we start with the kids ? or do we start with the parents ? or the schools ? could we start with all the above at the same time? Should we create a road map that includes all the above not forgetting or excluding any religion of choice,AND the politicians ,oh no we cant forget them,we MUST make them listen to our crys, concerns and fears for the furture generations,clearly we cant go backwards but we can do much better if we ALL take responsibility for these kidds.Have a great day …

Do you have a proven Afri-centric model? How would it work, and which African countries follow it? And what is their crime rate, life expectancy, and AIDS rate (or at least 2 of the 3 rates)?

I think you don’t know much facts about Africa. While Europe has made many bad things, you don’t have to keep blaming them for everything. Europe has shown success in many areas, to just deny that cause some white people are evil is foolish. Not everything Africa has come up with is good, and not everything Europe has come up with is bad. Before inventing some technique of your own that is unproven and then calling it Afri-centric .. first let us have undeniable evidence that a particular method works .. no matter who invented it .. and go with that. That is what the Singaporeans, Japanese, South Koreans, and Chinese did .. and they are very successful.

A more Afrocentric view was taking shape in T’dad WITHIN a Caribbean perspective a few years back, so wey happen to all of dat?? I guess it lost out on the inability to gratify instantly ala amerikkka. Shame that, because good things take time.
