Surprise, Surprise. Pour the money into the Big Cities, yet the kids don't care.

[mtbopfuyn]

It’s not the kids really, it’s their parents’ lack of values.

[henkster]

Obviously we are not spending enough! /s/

[MarineBrat]

Better throw more money at it! /s

[rocksblues]

I agree!

[RightWhale]

MSM has been hawking this news all day. As if it is news. In other news, Oprah is back up to 260.

It’s not the kids that need to care, it’s their parents.

And when the fedgov is a “no strings attached” sugar daddy, there’s really no reason to care about how your kids turn out.

Heard on the radio this morning that it's 1 out of 4 finish high school in the Detoilet, MI public school system.

[armymarinemom]

You give them books and they eat the covers.

[Slapshot68]

Well you spend your life in liberal promulgated poverty and crime, I can see where it would difficult to keep to one’s studies.

I heard on the news that, in Detroit, less than a third (I think it was 20 some %) graduate.

So much for the ‘Leadership' of Kwame Kilpatrick and his band of corrupt thugs in “Moving the City forward”.

[MrB]

Here’s how ALL issues evolve in which “liberalism” is involved:

1) There is a discomfort that a few in our society are experiencing due to their lifestyle choices.
2) Libs aim to alleviate this discomfort (CONSEQUENCE) by making everyone else pay for it.
3) Libs are surprised to find out that there is a much higher occurrence of the lifestyle choice leading to the consequence.
4) Libs demand more money to address the “crisis”.

Lately it’s been the teachers. lol

[doodad]

And it said that black and native American student's have effectively a one-in-two chance of getting a high school diploma

Wow, so it is just a roll of the dice I guess. Not up to the individual at all.

[Fox_Mulder77]

1 in 2 would be a record year for the school I graduated from!!!
The inner-city school I graduated from was and still is graduating on average 15% of its students.

Over a billion dollars was poured into the Kansas City, Missouri school system by order of a federal judge. Some outstanding facilities were built but it didn’t help the students’ education.

[353FMG]

No child left behind, even if it is unable to spell its own name.

[Secret Agent Man]

So where do the 1/2 of those that don’t graduate vanish to?

[armymarinemom]

Lately it’s been the teachers. lol

And the parents.
