Mission 1: I Can Handle This!

         

 Alright so there is this huge problem in education here in Modesto. Seems that the schools are running out of money at an alarming rate. The city has searched for help and I have courageously answered the call. That's what we super heroes do right? Well anyhow, Modesto has called upon the powers of lil ol me to rescue education from this dilemma. I've decided to investigate the matter and have scoured the neighborhood as my pedestrian identity to find answers. What is this problem? and What has attacked the coffers of our schools?

Corrupt Angel Investigates:  Okay, okay so I couldn't go investigating the matter in my superhero skivvies, so I've gone in pursuit of knowledge as my less conspicuous self. Can't have a superhero roaming the neighborhood. What would the neighbors think? So, I asked one family.....,we shall call them the Smiths to protect their anonymity,..... how their experience was with their children's school. Well, I was shocked to learn that their children's favorite after-school program had been cut from the budget, the art club. "What no art club??!?!?!?! This will not do!" It turned out that the kiddies had become listless zombies and had fallen prey to less creative outlets of their time. the DREADED T.V.! This definitely sounds like a job for Corrupt Angel.

What to Do?: So how can I solve this conundrum? Well I will use my super duper tele-mind warp (yes that's what it's called!) to shape the minds of the community. Trust me I never use this power for evil.......promise. Anyhow, all they need is a little gentle persuasion in the brain to solve this problem. I've decided that all we need is for people to pitch in and work together to fill in where the schools are lacking. So, I told Mrs. Smith my idea and she immediately decided it was great. Here's the plan: Go to the schools and devote spare-time and materials to restart the after-school program. Best yet, it won't cost the schools a dime!

The Plan: My "normal" self insists that this can be done minus the affects of my super duper tele-mind warp (preposterous!). Whatever the case I will indulge her to lay out her non-super hero plans here: 

     I think that the education budget problem and the resulting cuts of extra-curricular activities can be prevented if resources from the community are utilized. For instance, your school can't afford a football team? how about forming a mentor ship between local sports teams and parents or volunteers. Instead of having the state or city set aside funds for the activity have the parents devote time to coaching and pool funds to pay for the costs of the activity. Not only would this save the city tons of money, but it also would create lasting bonds within the community. This same idea could be applied for any of the after-school/ extra-curricular activities that are suffering during the economic crunch.

(For the record I, Corrupt Angel, could just use my super-duper tele-mind warp to make everyone see what has to be done! But perhaps my alter-ego is right......her plan is good too.

OH AND LOOK!!!!! The art student alter-ego put my exploits into a comic-book! What super-hero would be complete without a comic????)  click here for comic part 1  click here for comic part 2
