WORKING MOTHERS

HOW MANY GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY WORKING MOTHERS? AS JONATHAN SWIFT, THE WRITER, OBSERVED, WHEN A PERSON HAS NOT REASONED HIMSELF INTO AN ARGUMENT, THERE IS NO WAY TO REASON HIM OUT OF IT. REASON HAS TRADITIONALLY ASSUMED MEN WORKED OUT OF NECESSITY, ACCOMPLISHMENT AND VIRTUE. BUT WOMEN HAVE LET EMOTIONS 'RATIONALIZE' THEIR WAY INTO THE WORKPLACE. WILL THEIR MINDS EVER 'FEEL' A WAY OUT?

WORKING MOTHERS USUALLY PURSUE TRIVIAL JOBS, RARELY 'CAREERS' FOR UNNECESSARY PAYCHECKS, SELF-SERVING ONLY THEIR DESIRE FOR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS. IT CATERS TO THE NARCISSISM OF TODAY'S LIFESTYLES. BOTH PARENTS (ONE OR TWO) AND SCHOOLS ARE FAILING TO PRODUCE THINKING ADULTS, SELF-SUFFICIENT VIA COMMON SENSE AND DECENT VIA PROPER MORALS. HOW MANY GREAT THINGS ARE BEING ACCOMPLISHED BY WORKING MOTHERS?

EVEN IN OUR PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, EMOTIONS TRUMP REASON
AMERICA SPENDS 8 BILLION DOLLARS ON MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN BUT ONLY 800 MILLION ON THE GIFTED, HIGH ACHIEVERS. WHY? BECAUSE THE REASONABLE, COMMON SENSE DEFINITION OF SELF-EDUCATION HAS BEEN OVER-RIDDEN BY THE FEELING THAT THE SLOW, RELUCTANT OR LIMITED LEARNERS SHOULD BE CATERED TO. A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE. WHO MORE BENEFIT THEMSELVES AND SOCIETY - THE GIFTED OR THE RETARDED? THE WORKING FATHER OR THE WORKING MOTHER?
