That should be: What do you MAKE of it? Sorry for error.
Many (most?) inner city blacks have no value for an education beyond being able to count their drug money.
To get better students will require better parents.
This violates political correctness, and offends the sensibilities of black activists.
The liberal line is that schools need more resources, that the lousy outcomes in inner city schools are someone else’s fault, yadda, yadda, yadda.
We’re supposed to be sensitive to the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, and never criticize any aspect of ghetto culture. Otherwise, that’s racist.

Not Really. Get a good principal with balls and give him permission to toss 10% of the kids out of the school.
After he tosses out the first 5% the school will begin to advance, he may not have to get rid of the other 5%.
When I say tosses out I mean out. I don’t mean tutors for the kid, I don’t mean they can come back,. I mean OUT.
I would just like to point out that these “students” were born to and reared by people who were educated in the same system. Since the establishment of the US Department of Education, we have seen a steady decline in academic achievement. The teachers have great culpability, but in this case, it is the last generation of teachers, and it looks like this generation has thrown up its hands.
It is now considered “white” in black culture to do well in school, making it something that many students deliberately avoid to maintain their “cultural integrity”. . .sorry folks, but that attitude started in our schools several decades ago.
And, they blame it on the parents they UTTERLY FAILED TO EDUCATE when they were in school.
Now, we know what could go wrong.

What you are suggesting is illegal. Expulsions can only last one full year, at which point the student is allowed back. During that year, the school must provide an education for him or her. The only way this can be avoided is if the student is in jail.
Then the law is an @ss.
I never claimed it wasn’t. I’m simply pointing out the neat little package liberals have wrapped up for us. Want some more fun laws? Race to the Top, obama’s NCLB on steroids, has student civil rights built into it. That means that schools will be disciplined (read that as less $$$) for disciplining more minorities than whites. This also means that more successful schools within school systems will be dismantled. The effective teachers will be moved to the ineffective schools, and the bad students will be shuffled into gifted programs. You know, so everyone will be equal!

"The problem described in this article could be viewed as a genetic problem of some sort, or you could view it, as I do, as a political problem. My own view is that the variable which correlates most closely with every sort of urban pathology in America is democrat machine politics, and that 97% of the problems which blacks experience living in America would evaporate within five years of the democrat party being outlawed and banned. "
Of curse it is illegal, because it would work.
It is crazy to allow these disruptive students to destroy our educational system.Get rid of the disrupters and the others could learn.
IMO the need is to bring back reform schools. If kids refuse to learn in a regular school let them spend a year in a reform school/.
they attend for their FREE food...and finding the next piece of meat to hump...
blacks don’t understand the concept of parenting let alone PARENTS!
UMMMM...schools better served the black students when the schools were segregated...
Ooooh... I’m tellin’...
You are in trouble for tellin’ the truth.
Or in the case of some kids, it will require parents.
The only people who can correct these problems are blacks. And they probably won’t do that unless whites refuse to take responsibility for the problems.
I know of many black teachers in my small Southern home town who say the same. When there was a separate black high school they had a high graduation rate and many went to college. It’s been going down hill ever since.
As for kicking these kids out, the more “students” they have, the more money they get to pay the unions.
