What the government doesn't want you to know about schools

In 1966, the Coleman Report, the result of the largest social science project in history, reached a conclusion so "seismic" — Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's description — that the U.S. government almost refused to publish it. Released quietly on the Fourth of July weekend, the report concluded that the types of homes that children come from matter much more than how much money the government gives their school.  Common sense perhaps.  But politically incorrect.

So with that being said, if we can raise the quality of the families children come from, schools will improve dramatically.  But how?  Our All Pro Dad's Day program is designed to do just that.  It's a monthly breakfast for fathers and children that features good food, outstanding fun and meaningful conversation between fathers and their children.  So if you want to make your child's school better, become a Team Captain for us, and have your wife become an iMOM Morning Leader.  Together, we can improve our educational system dramatically.

Huddle up with your wife tonight and ask:  Do you think we can do this to help our school's families?
