a dollar a day...


"What can you buy with $1? If you live in a developed country, the answer is 'not much.' A movie ticket, a book, a bite to eat at the school cafeteria: they all cost more than $1. But for millions of
people, that dollar has to last the entire day. In developing countries, 2.7 billion people live on less than $2 a day, and 1.1 billion scrape by on under $1."

"This site "a dollar a day - finding solutions to poverty" examines poverty in developing nations and is directed toward students aged 15+, bringing together a wide variety of information to
raise awareness of the plight of the poor. More importantly, we discuss solutions to poverty and suggest ways that you can help alleviate poverty."

You will click here to go to the site and read about education and poverty. Click on the gray education tab. The subsections to be read are: introduction, education and poverty, schools and teachers, getting kids to schools, and gender equality.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In terms of our ongoing dialogue about poverty and as part of the "through" for today, your assignment is to complete an 11 sentence paragraph 'template" and then write out the 11 sentence paragraph and publish it as a comment to this post.

Consider this quote to guide you:

"Think about it: Every educated person is not rich, but almost every education person has a job and a way out of poverty. So education is a fundamental solution to poverty.
-- Governor Kathleen Blanco "

Your prompt is "Why is education important?"

As always, post "anonymously" but sign your comments with your first name and last initial. Ex: DougA.

Education is important because it's the best long- term solution to poverty, it will probably reduce cases of HIV, and open up economic opportunities. Education could be the best solution for poverty. This is because kids who are in a poor family are more likely to get a career.
This gives them more money. Education could also migitate cases of HIV. The educated children have a chance of growing up to become doctors and find cures. Also, i kids are educated about HIV, they will be less likely to be careless and get the disease. Education could also give us more economic opportunities. Education helps kids wtih their social and communication skills.
It's said for every year of school a kid has, their salary can increase by 10%. Education is important because it supports us through poverty, economic issues, and health.

Education is important bacause it keeps kids getting deaseases and they know how to live life.Education is consideed a vaccine for hiv/aids.If people don't know what these deseases are they can't avoid it. Also, 10 percent of kids that don't know what a sdesease is most likly get it.Litercy us needed for communication skills. Most kids need to learn how to use proper grammer. All kids that are not taught are most likly not know how to talk to kids that have. Education can break poverty from happening.

I think the education is important, because some people or girls don't get a chance to go to school. About 113 million kids can't go to school because they can't. And about 264 million might be able to but don't want to. This is abot poverty and how it could stop HIV and AIDS. If kids went to school and learned about it, It could have the chance to stop the spread. The goverment has already given $33 billion to the education-related projects. But that still isn't enough.For ever kid to go to school. Vaccine can help reduce the chance of HIV/AIDS spreading. Also learning about the disease can also afect and reduce of the spread. Education is important because It has a help on lowering the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Education is important because if they dont know not to stay away from different diseases they could be in danger. Also they cant find good jobs and if thier jobs arn't there and no one can run the business.
Childern can get Aids and HIVs and they would not even know it. Thier families cand identify it so they can"t help it.
Poverty and no education can lead to have no jobs. If they are trying to get a good job and they can't even call or locat the place they'er never gonig to get the job.
When they are looking for a job and there isn't even any the can't get it. Poverty can make people go out of buisnesand they can't get money.
now you now that poverty can lead families in to bankrup and buinesses can't get thier money.

I believe education is important because we need to be educated in some way, especially at this time in the world. Today, nothing is free. Ok, maybe there is somethings free, but what happens when something is free? Swarms of people go at it, desperate because it's free, and they don't have to pay anything. BUT, there's always a little catch to why it's free. Maybe it's deformed, out of style, and maybe it's even only free when you buy something else! Education is also important because it helps get rid of the boundary of boys vs girls. Both genders are the futures of the world, but without education, especailly to girls, it'll make one gender look weaker to the other, when they're nearly the same. A third reason we need eduacation is because of poverty. One of the biggest solutions to getting out of poverty is to have a job, but how can you get a job without education? Then, when you can get a good job and escape poverty, you can help your family, who might still be in poverty. Education is important because at this time in the world, there needs to be some kind of education you need to know.

Education is important because its the best way to earn money, get into college, and get a good job. If you have a really good education you can get good money. You get good money and could afford the food and the bills. You could even pay the hobos for all the money they need. If you have a good education, any college will accept you. You might even get a scholarship for you're college if you want to. If you get a full ride scholarship that means that you can go to college for FREE!!!

Education is important because we know about dieseses and life. We also need it when we have an interview at a job. We also need information and try to avoid things like being poor.

Eduaction is important because with out it everyone would be clueless.

Education is significant to our society beause it can bring up our economic opportunities. It can help poverty come to an end, by having children have te opportunity to have a career. However, it is a solution for HIV/Aids, in other words it will stop them from spreading. Girls will know about the topic and be more careful with their actions. Also, it will help children with social and communication skills. They would learn about every day life. A school's salary will increase by 10% every year for the amount of students the school has. When children get the opportunity to have a career they would also have the chance to have a home and a family. They would also have a job to be able to maintain a healthy life and the necessities they need. Without education you wont be able to find a job, you will have trouble staying alive, and with an education you can have a healthy and normal life. Education is important because it is what we all use every single day. With education we can make a difference in the world.

Education is important because nowadays you need it in life, also you can work in a nice safe enviorment, also you get paid better if you have an education. First, you need education because most jobs now you need some kind of knowledge. For example to be an engeneere. Not all jobs but some you at least need to know the bases of it. Second, you get to work in a safe enviorment. For instance My dad usto work as a field worker and did it for very little money. He usto work in the most hazardes conditions imaginable. Third, you get paid agood salary. My dad busted his but to earn so little. Now he works a little but for good money. In conclution, education is important because you need it in life to not work hard and to work in good conditions and earn good money. ROSENDO.A.

Why is education Important?
Eduaction is very important because its one of the biggest solutions to a better life. When someone is educated they get to have a job that they might like. With this job they'll will earn money, which they'll be able to use to pay your bills, food and all their necessary things to have a healthy good life. Theyll be able to be like everyone else, and they wont have to suffer thru Poverty at all. When someone is eduacted it's unlikely that he or she would get a disease, like HIV. If they were taught and spoken to about this they would know the diseases that are out there. They would not get montaminated or they would at least take care of themselves more. Education can also help children from impoverished families to run from Poverty. If they are educated they'll be able to go to college, i dont know maybe get a scholarship that pays all of your college, you never know. So this children wont have to go thru the samr thingsd that their families or parents had to go thru. This is what the paper talked about, but in my own words education is important for many things. Eduaction is good for Jobs, Money, Carrer, life, Family, Get what you need even what you want, live in a good home, economy, respect, knowledge, almost everything involves your education. Education can even take you out of Poverty into a very rich person. Eduaction isd ONE of the most important things that you could ever have in life. This is why Eduaction is very Important.

Why is education important? Education is the answer to poverty. Education helps you learn important information to help yourself gain a better life. It also helps you gain a job that you like and not a job your forced to have. Education also helps prevent STD's and AIDS. This is so because children are more aware of what the infection can cause. This also helps for children to be less likely to contract it. Education also helps people get equal rights. In most countries the majority of girls cannot offerd to go to school and are force to stay home. This also helps the jobs to be equally balanced. Education is important because it is the best long-term solution for developing the world.

Education is important because,its the solution to poverty, offers economic oppurtunities, and equality. first of all, its the solution to poverty because,the better your education the better job u get. which means the more money you make. It also has economic oppurtunities. For example, it helps you make more money than those who don't have a good education, which helps support you financially. All in all,it helps make things equal between both men, and women.For instance,men and women with the same education are treated more as equals. Plus, it allows both genders to have a fair chance of getting the same job etc.. As you can see education is important.

Why is education important? Some people still think that guys are the only ones meant to study. Probably because that was how is used to be. But there are now studies that girls are able to help out more. Education gives a good paying job. Like doctors and lawyers. Also, for using possibly money to donate or other things that can still be used. Adults motly kids need health. Education comes in there by being able to help them get/feel better. Not to mention, more of our youth needs health to have knowledge. Education is important because it helps get you through life and also to make it easier.

Education is important because without it there will be no proffesionals (important jobs), there would be lack of money and more diseases (HIV/AIDS). Jobs are important in life because you earn a living out of them. If you get a good education you will get a good job that you will like and that will give you a good amount of money (salary). On the other hand, if you don't have a good education you'll get a low-paying job that you probably wont like. Education is a good source of getting/gaining money. If you have a good education you will earn enough money to support yourself and your family. But if you dont have an education then you wont even have enough money to support yourself. Knowledge is power! The more you know about diseases, the more likely you are of preventing them. Getting an education will benefit you into being healthy and not making bad choices. If you dont go to school you'll probably end up making alot of mistakes without you knowing. Education is important because it will help you into getting a good job, getting good money, and having the knowledge of learning.

Education could be the best long term solution to poverty, since it opens up economic oportunities and could help on the obliteration of hiv/aids. It also helps you be succesfull with a good education its more probable to get a better paying job and that means more opportunities. Plus it might help you to feel confident you might be the first in your family to get out of poverty and have some money plus get their family out of being poor and make your family proud plus if you are the first one to go to school/college then you should feel a huge sence of accomplishment and be proud of yourself and you have something to inspire the generations to come if they did it now that we have all the opportunities we should take advantage of it.

Education is important for many reasons. The first reason it is important is because knowledge equals power. With a better education people could get better jobs. People with better jobs would get payed better which would help out their struggeling situations. The second reason is because girls should also be allowed to recieve an education. If girls recieve an education more josb could be created. If more jobs were created the economy would definitely improve. The final reason is because school costs too much for some famelies. The UN says that every one in the world has the right to an education. Over 1 billion adults in developing countries lack the basic skill of literacy. Education is important because it could help create more jobs and improve the economy in a developing country.

I think that eduacation is important because many kids learn about HIV/Aids and how they can prevent from getting it. Also the years they have of college their salary increases by 10%. Another thing is that most kids cant go to schoolbecause their parents dont have enough money to survive and send their kids to school in other words they need more money. Finally girls arent able to get education because their parents can only afford for one kid so they think the guys need more education to get a better job.education is important because that way we know how people in other countries have education sandram

Education is important because it is a fundamental solution to poverty. People who are educated are guaranteed better jobs. Successful business's want succesful people to work for them. One example of people who get paid very little for working hard, is in Mexico. Some people have no other choice but to work in mines to only get paid 5 dollars daily. Also, in schools you learn about sexualy transmitted diseases. You learn how to prevent catching the diseases, and how to treat one if you're already infected. This gives you the knowledge about the diseases and the minor chance to catching one. Last, knowledge is a way to succeed in life. This doesn't mean that to be successful you have to be rich, but that you live a well healthy life. One quote I heard about, that applies to this is "The more you know, the more you get out of life." Education is important because kids are the future and so far our future looks like today and yesterday.

Experts believe that education is the best long term solution to poverty. It is believed that for every year of schooling salary increases by 10%. Educating girls especially helps because in many countries people focus mostly on the education of guys. An education helps people be more aware of Aids and HIV.Kids who know about these diseases will less likely be victims because some of us know to be careful. It also helps kids know wich situations to avoid inorder to stay free of disease. Literacy is the cornerstone to education. It helps communication and reasoning skillsin children. It is also the basicskill fequired for any kind of economic advancement in life. Without education we wouldn't be ale to hold our heads up high in this big world
