Detroit has a 25% graduation rate, and what fine graduates those are. Commonly, urban HS have rates around 50%.
( I suspect the rates are even worse, but long story )

These kids would learn more math on the streets, borrowing from leg breakers than the Public Skools.

The kids are victims. Victims of the unions, the administrators and the politicians.

Yeah, “the parents”. The problem is the parents went through the same ‘skools’. So now the system is bullet proof and self sustaining.

The parents you are thinking of, died out generations ago.

That's pathetic. And a HS diploma doesn't mean much these days - just showing up to class will get a kid passed.
