What do you think President-elect Obama's priority should be when it comes to education?

Parent-child relationship-programming between ages 13-17 for those "exceptional-educational-needs" during those years. Why? When they are "out-of-programming (thru individual states) by age 17, expecially the girls are likely to quit-school, or even if they do "graduate" (within the special-educ.-program-guidelines), they end up with dependents "rapidly" and also tend to "job-bounce" and "job-loss because of inability to 'do-the-job'. A parent-child 13-17 program would be beneficial in addressing "what to do when you get your first job" "what to do when you are having problems" "what to do when you are fired" "where to go when you (at grade-levels 3 to 5) are unable to "deal with money" "get in with undesirable friends" and so on and so forth. While these questions are certainly "mildly" addressed within programming, we are seeing more and more teens & young adults "out-on-streets" because they cannot return to the family-home (nor do many wish to after "fallings-out" with parents). These exceptional-children become expceptional 20-30-40-50-yr-olds faster than public-resources are able to support-job programs, "put them to work programs" and "training (at their grade-level years below their actual age-level)-programs. Recently, became aware of young adult (+20) who operates (perhaps) on a grade-three-level. She has herself thrown out of parents' home, out-on-street, had job & lost job, now "homeless" & "in-shelter." This is not uncommon progression. (Girls more often will become p.g. and "part of system for rest-of-life at point of "out-of-highschool/dropout/graduate from exceptional-programs with no-future except min.-wage." Answers: While programs are "in place" prior to age17, during the teens those kids are wishing to not only to "be rid" of the exceptional educational-programming (they have been thru often since early grades!), but also become aware thru friends and experience that they will "be free" of their parents' wishes on attaining 17. (Often legal problems beset them in the 15's and 16's before they even reach 17yrs.) A program to "pair" either with same-sex-parent to learn-how-to-communicate (starting in early grades), or with one-on-one or two-to-one children to adult would be beneficial focusing on those "work-related" "after-age-17-financial-how-to" questions. Sad to see how many of the girls (now in early 20's) have latched onto older males who offer nothing but "prior-(serious)-convictions" having known these youngsters when they were "amenable-to-change" and their "attitudes" were still maleable. For the friends who have "except.-children-aged-20-70" who are benefitted by tax-payer-funded programs (now and rest-of-life): looking at lifetime-costs in payments, legal and emotional fall-out over the coming years-of-their lives......perhaps it would be good to get some discussion-going on "any" possible alleviation-of-anti-educational & anti-parental-input sentiments from the standpoint of the evolving "exceptional-teen into adulthood and beyond." (Feel very sorry for the parents in their 90's, 70's, 60's and 50's whom we personally know who are "now" dealing with this problem: whether the "kids" are now 20plus, or 70-plus...the "exceptional" part of their educational-emotional and physcial-abilities does not ever change).
Thank you for considering the impact such programming would be financially, legally and job-retention-related for the children's future, for tax-payers, for their parents future. Thank you.
