WHAT IS THE DROPOUT RATE FROM PRIVATE CHARTER SCHOOLS?
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
I wonder if the Presidents of the United Federation of Teachers, the NEA, and other organizations, including elected officials and others know what the dropout rate is for private charter schools. Doesn’t the public have the right to know? All we seem to hear about is that test scores are better and charter schools are better. Now it could be that high school desertion from private charter schools is low or very low, but those numbers are never given to us when the public school system is attacked. We have no way to compare and we are used to comparing everything including french fries, baseball teams, cars, presidents of the United States, and pastors of the candidates. I want to know and I hope my readers want to know. What is the dropout rate from those private charter schools?

ARIANNA HUFFINGTON OF THE HUFFINGTON POST
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
Arianna Huffington says that one-third of eighth graders cannot read well, but she does not seem to know that forty million adults do not even have a GED. Yes that is the number. When are people who think they are knowledgeable going to become knowledgeable? See what she writes below about poverty in America. Most people who are deeply into poverty have probably never obtained a high school diploma or GED. This is one of the cancers that have plagued economic growth for decades. People who lack either a high school diploma or GED often cannot go on to higher education because they lack the diploma and the knowledge to go on to a higher level of education and lifestyle. People are reading her Huffington Post all over the world, but they are not learning that the GED in English, Spanish, and French around the world will impact on tens of millions of people who have not had the opportunity to finish school. This will not come close to ending poverty, but it will do much more than most other programs that people think will help.

THE REVEREND WRIGHT-OBAMA CONTROVERSY
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
If Barack Obama had not been running for President and gotten to where he is, this controversy would be on page 12 or 42 from time to time. This controversy is really about Barack Obama and not Reverend Wright. On the surface, the radio and television comments made against Reverend Wright appear correct, but something appears to be wrong about them. I am not saying that Reverend Wright is correct, but it appears to me we are not uniformly treating people the same way when they tell their communities things.

WHAT A SMALL WORLD HEARING ABOUT JAIME SACA
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
The manager of the new Espiguita Soccer Academy and I were talking and he told me the story of the brother of President Antonio Saca who was an illegal immigrant when he came to the United States. Jaime Saca, the president’s brother, sent money to El Salvador so his younger brother Tony could get his education. Ten seconds later, I showed the soccer league manager my photo with President Saca and my friend Jaime Saca on my website. I spent hours with people in the communities of Central Islip and Brentwood organizing what will surely be one of my most important educational events. I have extended an invitation to President Saca and other officials to attend my conference in September to speak about the GED. President Saca has spoken about the GED on television, including on the Don Francisco Show.

FRACASO EDUCATIVO CAUSADO POR LOS PADRES HISPANOS?
Por Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
ES EL FRACASO DE LOS HISPANOS EN EL SISTEMA EDUCATIVO CAUSADO POR LA FALTA DE NO INVOLUCRARSE DE LOS PADRES? Pienso del conflicto en la comunidad hispana causado por el libro de Herman Badillo y los email que yo he recibido con los comentarios pro y contra y mi experiencia como maestro desde 1967. Sí desde 1967. En 2007 Somos El Futuro tuvo un taller sobre este tema y yo no sé el resultado del taller, pero tengo que intervenir ahora mismo. Decimos mejor tarde que nunca.

WHAT DOES SI SE PUEDE REALLY MEAN TO YOU?
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
For forty years of my adult life, I have been hearing about the desertion of Hispanic students from school in the United States. Radio reports back then told people that desertion from school was fifty percent and it is still as high or higher. Most of the effort to help Hispanics has been put into the students that can easily be helped and the students that are really, really at risk (doubled for truth and emphasis) are not helped. My friends know that I have the answer and my friends who know that are few. I need more friends who want to make sure that every member of every Hispanic family has a diploma. The gap between Hispanics and Caucasians in education is huge and that gap is growing larger everyday. If the Hispanic leaders will not do more, if the Hispanic elected officials will not do more, if the Hispanic pastors and their churches will not do more, if the Hispanic non-for-profits will not do more, if the Hispanic newspapers, radio, and television will not do more, if the Hispanic immigration organizations will not do more, if Hispanic business and chambers of commerce will not do more, if consulates will not do more to help Hispanics with the GED and English language acquisition, then it shows that Hispanics or Latinos are not united and/or are often united for the wrong reasons.

DOS HISPANAS QUIEREN HACER SU GED EN NUEVA YORK
Por Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
Ayer y hoy hablé con latinas por teléfono y en una lavandería sobre el GED. La primera es una puertorriqueña de 18 años de edad y me contó que perdió su tiempo en una clase (no del Departamento de Educación) y pagó 25 dólares para asistir la clase. La información que ella recibió de este programa difunto era mala. La joven ahora sabe que ella puede hacer su examen de GED sin asistir clases. En otros estados las regulaciones son diferentes donde todos tienen que asistir clases (en Norte Carolina). Ella me dijo que va a tomar su examen porque los profesores en la clase le aseguraron que sabe bastante.

RETAIN STUDENTS IN SCHOOL THROUGH PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION: GED ASSESSMENT
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
This proposal in no way is intended to violate the rights of students and parents to determine what course of action they should take.
Professional intervention (crisis intervention) is needed to slow down the desertion from high school in our nation which is reported at about a million students and may be 1.2 million per year. This intervention is for individuals, but it takes into account that students are influenced by the past behavior of family members, friends, and fellow students in dropping out of school.
We have to see what exit interviews are conducted in our schools and compare the intervention in those schools with the proposed intervention.

SOSUA: THE SECOND LIFE
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
I, recently, read Dominican Haven: Jewish Refugee Settlement in Sosúa, 1940-1945 by Marion A. Kaplan. I bought this book at the inauguration of the Sosúa exhibit of the Jewish Heritage Museum in New York City. It was announced that this inauguration was the most highly attended one in the history of the museum. Attorney General Robert Morganthau and others announced that we should never forget our Dominican friends for the great deed that they did to save lives. I want to give special thanks to Senator Eric Schneiderman, who I actually met for the first time in my life in the Jewish Museum in Sosúa as he was preparing to bring to light this great story about humanity which is being preserved for all of by the museum.

CAN YOU IMAGINE BARACK OBAMA SHAKING HANDS WITH ADOLF HITLER?
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
Can you imagine a person who has not earned a GED, a high school diploma, or any degree running for President of the United States, winning the election, and running the country effectively? Is it possible? I believe so. I have been thinking that we have never really had the best in office in the past. Just ask the losers and you will see that they agree with me. I sit home saying to myself that there must be 50,000 Americans across the United States who can do a better job than John Mc Clain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton (and Condoleeza Rice). Most of those 50,000 may not have had the leadership experience, but they may be just as qualified as people in key positions. A haberdasher became President of the United States and he integrated the Armed Forces and made the decision that dropped the A-Bomb on Japan to quickly close World War II. I am sure you will not see haberdashery as a course at Harvard, Yale, or any other institution of higher learning.
