As one who taught in an urban school, let me tell you this quite simply: It isn’t the schools who fail. It’s the parents who fail.
What incentive does a kid have to graduate high school, when his or her mother, father, or both, don’t instill the value of education? I saw it every. single. day. The kids in these economically depressed areas – white, black, hispanic, whatever – didn’t care.
They didn’t care.
Don’t blame the bottom line on the bosses when they can’t fire unproductive employees.
