They've been in a "pivotal time" since before Elvis checked out.
Watch Waiting for Superman.
I’m done with public schools.
I don’t think it is about race so much as about why would the successful want to absorb the unsuccessful and their problems.
Really? Couldn't it be about BEHAVIOR?
Same old story, same ol groups: the-get-something-for-nothing-crowd of underachievers and problem causers
I imagine the district’s employees and residents will say (and imagine they believe) *anything*, rather than confess, “While spending enormous amounts of money, we have proved to be incapable of providing even the most rudimentary education to our own children.”
Memphis screwed up their school system so bad they want to give to the county. Without the county getting a vote on the matter, and yes Memphis wants a seat on the County School Board too. So they can have the power.
The Memphis residents have done plundered the city and now they are looking for fat, easy hogs outside the city limits.
Of course the suburbanites will be too worried about being called names to actually save themselves and their school system so as they handover the keys to Shelby county to their new masters from Memphis they will put their tails between their legs and slink away.
Job security for jesse and al! (They don’t deserve capitalization.)

They were to be recruited from, among other places, retiring black commissioned and non-commissioned officers to enforce minimal standards of dress and behavior.
Went absolutely nowhere. That is because the African-American community refuses to admit or deal with bastardy, the single most pressing problem among their young people ... which is to say, our young people, since the community as a whole pays for them. The African-American community accepts as normal standards of deportment and comportment which are the worst in the organized world world.
Worse than their behaviors is the extremely permissive reaction of the community as a whole. That means us. Until responsible black leaders get in the 'hood and start corrective programs, and I include their "clergy," there is going to be race war and hell to pay. America's new no 1 minority loses very little love for the African-American community. In LA, a major police presence between them is necessary.
Politicians and the media pander to this behavior. Any large scale correction is deemed racist, and probably is. That my friend, is the problem.
Blacks...perpetual victims who eschew responsibility.
