Current Situation Publications Other Information MSUcares ... home page Children/Youth/Families Current Situation In almost every critical measure of child well-being, Mississippi ranks last or near last. According to KIDS COUNT 1996, nearly 1 in 10 children live with a grandparent, almost double the national percentage.Mississippi has the highest percentage of single-parent families in the nation - more than 35 percent of the children in Mississippi are living in single-parent families.More than 65.1 percent of the children have either two working parents or a working single parent. Research indicates that when children receive supportive, stimulating care they show normal development at 2, 6, and 10 years. Children at-risk for school failure thrive when caring adults value them and support their educational and extracurricular activities. The social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of children is dependent upon the family. Families are a child's first teacher in life. In order to meet GOAL ONE in GOALS 2000: All Children Should Be Ready to Learn, it is critical for the family to have educational support and resources provided to them.

SEARCH STORIES: Navigation June 10, 2004 Parents for Public Schools The Osgood File (CBS Radio Network): 1/2/02 The Osgood File (CBS Radio Network): 7/6/01 Printer-friendly version E-mail this story to a friend A parents group is trying to stop the exodus of children from public schools. In 1989, when about 20 parents met in a living room in Jackson, Mississippi, to talk about their children's education. They didn't want to send their children to segregated private academies but at the same time wanted their children to get a good education. They came to the conclusion that the best way to improve public schools is to enroll their kids and work to improve the schools. The parents banded together and sent their children to Casey Elementary, which at the time didn't have a PTA and was on the verge of shutting down. The group became known as Parents for Public Schools and with their help Casey became so successful that the U.S. Department of Education last year honored it as a blue ribbon school.
