If a person doesn't learn the meaning of "earning" something then the ability to learn to value what you do is diminished....so is the ability to view others talents and abilities as a learned, valued and respected part of society.

"FREE" things are useless values. At least make them clean their own bathrooms and clean up the campus.

Yup, those people who are getting this benefit are really good at cleaning bathrooms and sweeping up stuff. Step and fetch it boy.

My education was free, nearly totally free. I paid almost nothing. So that means in your informed opinion that I don't have values. Well, not your values. I earned my college education by being a successful high school student. I earned my professional education by being a successful college student. School was my job. School was my children's job. They turned out just fine, thank you.

The organization is Hope Chicago, not Chicago Hope. Read about the program HERE

These are students in the Chicago Public Schools. Read the article. Feel the enthusiasm.
Old school public education before teachers union took over.

You’re education wasn’t free, some poor sap with no kids was paying for it through taxes.

So, you got you’re free education and how much did you give back? O wait it wouldn’t been free then.

Free is expected in this country, especially education as long as somebody else paying for it.

Public schools can do great things with the teachers they have if they are given respectful students eager to learn. It is the job of parents to provide teachers with students like that. We can’t expect teachers to succeed very well if the parents aren’t doing what they are supposed to do. It’s only rarely possible. Blame parents, not teachers. G I G O.

Yep, there should be New York university in every town across the fly over states.

Just read comments about my OP, and totally shocked that something wonderful for these kids has been made DIRTY. How can you not be enthusiastic for kids that WANT an opportunity to succeed. Lordy, lordy what is wrong with this crazy world, when lies are truths, goodness is evil, geeez!
