I don’t want to repeat your nasty comment, but I would like to ask you who do you think is responsible for the condition and the thought process of those kids in the public schools in DC? It doesn’t even matter that the kids get no support from the parents because the public schools teach the kids not to respect authority.
Hey, the “nasty comment” didn’t originate with me. You’ll have to take it up with AuH2ORepublican. I was merely responding by making a logical conclusion. “Who do I think is responsible for the condition and the thought process of those kids in the public schools in DC?”, you ask. That would have to be kids themselves. How is it that the conditions/kids in the Fairfax County public school system have managed to garner a reputation for safe schools while the DC schools are not, as evidenced by the responses in this thread? Aren’t public schools public just schools after all? You claim they don’t teach authority, yet the Fairfax County district doesn’t seem to have the same bad reputation as the DC schools.
I am a teacher who has taught in many public school districts, suburban and inner city. I will never ever teach in an inner city district again. You couldn’t pay me enough. They are definately NOT safe. And it’s not the teachers who pose the threat.
