Actually, I wasn't being entirely sarcastic. I see a lot of kids buying into the ghetto mentality, not realizing what else it involves. Only sometimes are they aware and decide they don't care. Far to the contrary, kids would care a lot more if they really knew what was coming, given their choices.

It's when the teachers are casually sensible and who show just as a matter of how they walk around that sane and intelligent is cooler than dumbed-down that this culture can't get a foothold, even among those to whom it is most directly targeted.

No, I didn't mean to imply that you were. I understood your intentions and I agree 100% with you. These kids live in a delusional world today and they are going to be (justifiably) very angry at us when they figure out just what a disservice we have done them.
