Concerning: A enacted policy affecting families and
individuals
This is important because it brings insight to the adult council
members to other aspects they don’t normally consider.
My Views: I think that this happening in San Marcos is a
great thing for everyone. Children are
going to be able to have first hand insight to how a city is being run and
learning so much in the process. Adults are even going to be learning from the
kids. Children often have a similar way of thinking about things which will
offer common ground for everyone. It is worrisome because some adults on the
board might think otherwise and maybe write the kids off, so to hear that this program
has been being developed for years, it is reassuring that everyone is on board
with it. San Marcos being a high poverty city, I truly hope that kids who are
stricken by poverty will still apply rather than those who are more
fortunate. I am curious to hear about
how they are going to get the kids pumped up about all this and enable them to go
ahead with the job application. I think that some setbacks will not being able
to have transportation to meetings because the family members are working or just not enough knowledge about the program
to get kids interested in the program.
