I agree Vern. There should be an overall focus and recommendation from the state to keep the traditional family unit healthy. However there are many situations where that is just not possible as a quick fix (eg- parent in prison, parent died, parent is a drug addict, parent is a deadbeat, etc.). But if the state recognized that kids need some type of family (tribe) where they feel like they are safe, loved and important if they are going to thrive, then that would be very cool indeed. The Ike Box coffee shop (corner of Chemeketa & Cottage in Salem) is a great example of a program which brings in divested kids (foster kids, juvenile detention kids, alternative school kids, pre-criminal kids) and gives them a "family" to be a part of. Kids are transformed not only by what they learn, but by the relationships they develop. The owners, Mark and Bulgin, are the father/mother role models for these kids and do an amazing job. They create a family environment where kids feel safe, loved and important.I also love that the non-profit program is built around a real money-making business... the coffee shop. Another great form of social entrepreneurialism.My point is - the education system needs to recognize the importance of kids growing up in a family or tribe, where they have those fundamental emotional needs being met - feeling safe, loved, and important. This fits very well within the evolutionary biology framework (in addition to the Judeo-Christian framework) which side-steps the whole religious issue and gets down to what is genetically required for the healthy growth and development of a human being.Maybe I'll attend.

Interesting, the "Ike Box Coffee Shop" excellent these are the sort of programs individuals and the state need to support. I was just with Sen. Jeff Kruse to speak with him relative to health care and or non-discrimination language.....but he was driving up to Salem to meet with Janet Carlson who is dealing with educational issues and we spoke of this very issue.....I'm going to check out the coffee shop and I'd like to meet the owners Mark and Bulgin...thanks for the intel...and please make sure you speak up at the meeting if you go that you are "Dr. Jamey Dyson" I'm a doctor of chiropractic etc...you don't even have to mention health care just chiming in showing your intellect and concern with have a possible ripple effect on the profession... Cheers, Vern
