Do you agree that "children are the assets of the nation"?

Yes, without children, the nation will not develop, whether it is good or bad..

No, because whoever has the children has to establish some kind of stability for them.  I'm not saying you should not have any rights, but think of the kids first.

ok.. the child consumer is the spoiled brat borne of a broken home.  It has disposable income that was not around 20 years ago.  and it doesn't stabilize anything.   Obviously, this question was from a teacher with an agenda.

Definitely yes - just imagine the last hope of children left by their parents. \nBut this is a fragile question: God says you must love and respect your parents. I think we must meet this demand till the point of not giving ourselves up. Being a parent means such great responsibility that it's easy to develop some features of a behaviour of owners or rulers. And besides, there may be some rivalry between the ex-rulers and the more and more independent growing-up personality... Try not to forget what a lot you have been given in your childhood, but keep an eye on your independent developing peronality - and you may find the proper ballance. Terrorists are never right either fathers or sons...

If you decide to and what you consider to be successful.  Sometimes success does not mean wealth.  You could be considered successful by the way your children turn out.

I think education should be free for every residence of every country no matter were they come from and what there parents do.A society that does not provide for free education for its residence is causing problem for itself in future.FREE EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE

Definitely not!  What right has the government got to take what someone has built up over their life??  I don't see anything unfair about it at all.\n\nPS no my family aren't multi millionaires - just average middle class family!!!

My take is this.  Since they were born, they were treated like lil angels.  Then were treated like gifts of god to planet earth.  They've been lavished with every sort of play thing, article of clothing, material possession they could ever want.  They've been waited on hand and foot.  They're given EVERYTHING -- "free" education, "free" lunch, "free transportation" to/from school.  Traffic is stopped for them.  \n\nToo many parent/s / adults have "put them FIRST," and the kids have sucked it up.  Now, look at the economy -- entertainment, clothing, toys, schools, food, candy, etc.  Where is most of the money being made --- catering to the children and the teens.\n\nNow, you tell me!  Who do you think has really been in charge???\n\nI say it's all about misplace priorities.\n\nIn my book, the adults should come FIRST.\n\nWhy should adults should be reproducing when they cannot assure that doing so will be an improvement to the world?  Makes no intelligent sense the way human reproduction has been occuring for the past 100 years!

Of course my children they are your blood, as for me my kids are my blood, sweat, and tears .... I love them more then anything and I do for them before I even do for myself. Your children come first in life no matter what, children are innocent angels that absorb things very fast, why would you even question who to choose? That is crazy like a squirrel lady or man "your nuts"

I don't have children but I hope you don't mind that I answer your question anyway =)\n\nA proper education is so important for childen! I feel very strongly about this. Whether it's homeschooling, public, private, whatever, kids have got to learn! It's difficult to get a job without a college degree these days. How much harder will it be if these kids don't get any kind of formal training at all? Even though I don't have kids, I don't mind that some of my taxes go to my town's schools, because I'm investing in these kids' lives, you know? They should have every possible advantage, and an education is one of those things.

Instead of looking to keep living of the taxpayers, how about trying to get a job?  You should be setting an example for your children, and sitting at home with your feet up collecting money for nothing is NOT a good example.

"In America, no child should be left behind. Every child should be educated to his or her full potential. This proposal sets forth the Presidents proposed framework to accomplish that goal. This Administration will work with Congress to ensure that this happens quickly, and in a bipartisan manner"\n\nYet still- this issue remains unsolved.  I completely agree with you- why can't we Americans deal with this- as these are our future generations- we need them, educated and aware of the world around them!

Yes, they are. Until we learn to care for the ones already exisitng, we should hold off on creating more of our own. (Just a personal observation.) Perhaps some of these families who like to pop out kid after kid should adopt one (or several).

Don't think so.\n\nThe benifits are for the children.  That's why it's called "benefits for surviving children".

It's not JUST the job of the parents - it takes a whole community to raise a child.  We are all responsible for the children of our community and our country - our legal, US citizen children.  The other countries are responsible for their children.  Our children are our future.  Even those people who choose not to have children and then resent having to pay school taxes, for instance, should realize that their neighbours' children are the ones who will be someday paying the taxes to support the infrastructure around you in your old age.

okay what?  are you confused as to why we would let our children pay for something....creates independence and understanding of money.....why we would get upset if they ask for more..for better money management don't spend what you don't have....let them go free? well nothing in life is free but we help our children even past the age of 18 because we care

No.  Not in America.  This country was founded on the principle that a citizen's life is his or her own property.  My life was not destined to be spent making a feudal lord whose only claim is that he was born into the right family richer, nor shall it be sacrificed for a cause not of my choosing.  Betraying this ideal would be decidedly un-American.
