I meant political slant and standards.

However, a school cannot operate in isolation from a community. The schools in Newark — as well as schools in de-populating rural communities in crisis — will reflect the larger environment. Is this a good thing? Nope. But the truth of the matter is, schools won’t save a community, the community has to save the schools.

Wrong again!

you repeat the same error.

A rotten community won’t “save a school” nor will a rotten school “save a community”. You need to have high standards in each and reinforce each other.
