Kamala Harris: Files bill to keep schools open until 6 pm to help parents

Harris has introduced legislation meant to keep many U.S. schools open until 6 p.m. In most public schools around the country, the school day starts around 8 a.m. and ends at about 3 p.m. This poses a problem for parents who work 9-to-5 jobs and can't afford to pay for childcare between the time their kids get off school and they get off work. The Family Friendly Schools Act would create a pilot program in 500 elementary schools -- mainly those in low-income areas -- across the country.

Ben Carson: Education has power to lift families out of destitution

I know from my own experience of having been raised in dire poverty by a single mother that education has a great power in bridging socio-economic divides and lifting entire families out of destitution. My mother, who is the hero in my life, was one of two dozen children. She got married at age 13 and later discovered that my father was a bigamist. With only a third-grade education, she was forced to raise two children by herself. An interesting thing about my dedicated mother is that she never felt sorry for herself and never became a victim. Her blood, sweat, tears and prayers--not reliance upon or intervention of the government--helped my family rise up. She refused to embrace a victim mentality that many do in today's world. That is why I stressed the importance of instilling in our children the mindset that they can accomplish anything if they do not think they are victims.
