Social Commentary


20-17

A recent glance at the newspaper from the city to the south enlightened me on the current state of birth statistics in the area. In a two week period at one particular hospital, there were 37 babies born. 20 of them were born to single or unmarried parents, and 17 to married couples.

  1. I agree with Veronica. What do you do about it though? I have so many other thoughts running through my head right now, about the world and about things closer to home. Its a puzzle.

  2. Many, if not most, of the kids I work with in Title 1 come from challenging family situations. I guess it's job security for me, but I would rather be unemployed if it meant that children could have a mom AND a dad who read to them and tuck them in at night.
