Wrong. It’s the 15% who are trying to live according to society’s rules/God’s rules. The other 85% not so much.

This naivete is a part of the problem.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow that. But I will tell you this: I don't know much about a lot of things. But I know a lot about urban public schools. I have decades of experience there. Not as some fancy consultant, but as an inner-city classroom teacher.

And in even the worst schools I've been in, 85% of the kids are good kids! They want to learn something, or at the very least get by. Yes, they are often lead astray by peer pressure. And yes, they are often not challenged to succeed due to the idiotic liberal school curriculum. But those 85% are decent kids, and they are being left to rot.

It is something money won't solve. It takes courage, courage urban politicians just don't have.

And sorry for the rant. It breaks my heart to see generations of kids lost like this.
