And that's why the system fails. It starts at home, if parents value education the kids will learn no matter what the school does. And if the kids are demonspawn of welfare junkies who understand that the government provides for them no matter what level of lowlife they are and education doesn't matter as long as you get a welfare check, then that's what the kids learn. If the kid walks into class with the attitude of "I refuse to learn and you can't make me" then that is indeed the case. The schools can't make a kid learn if the kid refuses. The old lead a horse to water dilemma.
I can't explain why we keep throwing good money at this problem when there's no chance that the system can work. Instead of segregating kids by race segregate them by desire. If you want to learn, take a seat and here's today's lesson. If you refuse, there's the door, get the fuck out. Why pretend that the current education system is working? It can't if the parents are the ones sinking it.
