      <description><![CDATA[I totally agree with you tntea, but I'm thinking about helping the kids who are aready past kindergarten  and are already behind. TN needs better teachers. It really got to me a few months ago when we had this girl start working at my job as a temp. She was 18 yrs old and had just graduated high school last year and she couldn't add or subtract.  I had heard of people like this on tv and in the news but never seen anyone like it. She was from Michigan and always bragged about her graduating clas...

      <description><![CDATA[Preschool is the biggest need right now in education.  You would be surprised at the children who start kindergarten who have never picked up a book, ever read to, doesn't know their full name, nor their parents name.  There are children who do not know their colors... or even what a color is.  There are children who cannot even point to the sky when asked.<br /><br />Due to parents not taking any precious time with them as toddlers for whatever reason.<br /><br />Reading begins in kindergarten now instead o...

I guess the diet cokes and Salem menthols are more important.  BTW, on the lottery website they put a stupid video of how the drawings are conducted.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[$750,000 is a lot of money. I think TN could have hired a book keeper/accountant and a few lottery players from some other states for 6 times less than what Rebecca makes, and still created the same output she has. The lottery was brought into TN with the intent to make money for education. I think there should be some sort of special program set up for those bonuses to which the money goes into a fund to help counties with education budget problems. I think the education lottery should help all... [&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lotterypost.com/news/166477/934231">More</a>&nbsp;]]]></description>

But when you let that go to your head and it becomes so swollen that it affects your rational.<br /><br />She may think she has been doing a good job when in fact she neglects the peoples point of view and instills her one minded attitude towards the business forging the fundamentals of what makes the lottery a success which are the people playing the games.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Lotteries are run by states to make money like any gambling business and lottery executives like executives in any business expect to make big salaries.<br /><br />Using lotteries to support education or some charitable cause make it easier for the average Joe who plays to feel he's contributing to a good cause rather than gambling his money away and allows the state to claim a higher cause than those private gambling for profit businesses.]]></description>
