Monday's show is Let Them Decide.
Well, Monday's Humanity Matters show and every Monday in August at 8:00 PM on PCTV21 Will be on not underestimating people or our children.
We should never tell a child that they can't achieve a dream. If a child wants to grow up and be a scientist, engineer, actor, attorney, doctor, fireman or firewoman, police officer, stockbroker or thousands of other careers, but test scores show that a child or any person can't do that career we should not tell them they can't. We should tell them it will be very difficult and you will need to study and work very hard. But, we should never say you can't achieve it.
We must not hurt the emotional well being of a child in the Formulative years nor can we or any test or series of test know what a child or a person can achieve with hard work. While it is true the test may be correct we must also understand that when people take test many times they don't do their best because they are nervous.
How many test did you make mistakes on because of nerves when in reality you knew the answers? Let us remember also just because you don't have the needed knowledge at that point in your life it does not mean you can't learn it.
It is for this reason I say to you let them decide. That show will air on PCTV21 this Monday August-1-2005 at 8:00 PM. Please watch it if you can.
Sometimes standing up for one makes you a leader of many. Humanity does matter!
