This is so pathetic it is not even funny... This is just one of the reasons I believe the Government is PATHETIC!

I plan to watch the whole piece but after 30 sec the mother is complaining her son can't read at 18. WTF. If the parents don't take an active role in their kids education then they have mostly themselves to blame.

Wow that's long. Looks like it's on kids who suck despite going to school, I know this area has a lot of those issues but a great deal (most?) of the problem is in fact not the schools but their crack head mothers and fathers. I kid, they don't even know where their dads are. I would wager that if you find a school area with consistently poor ratings the kids are consistently from poor/poorly adjusted families and education simply isn't that important to them.

Watch the whole thing. He goes into funding and gets them to admit 100% of a state budget isnt enough. He also looks into school voucher programs, charter schools, and the teach unions who hold back progress.

Hahaha. Alot of these people don't have personal responsibility. If your kid gets a bad grade, its your responsibility to beat a good grade into him.

40 minutes long.

Schools always want more money.

Parents taking an active role in their kids ed is racist?

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Part of the problem might also be that some kids just have low IQs, which can make it difficult to learn to read.

Here's an interesting op-ed I came across recently that briefly touches on this subject:

Parents is plural so you're assuming there are two parents around, while most black kids are illegitimate.

Better watch out or al981 will have something to say.
