To A Perfect: I’ll second that. I taught in publics, then homeschooled, now tutoring 1:1. For a while I volunteered in a Middle School + High School, bringing in speakers to talk about their careers, etc. I was looking to see if I wanted to get back into the classroom. NO WAY. The kids were just like what you are saying. Slap-dash, could have cared less. Messing around, NOT serious. I never got more than 6 kids to my speakers’ program. It confirmed in me everything I had suspected in my 20s. I would not go back to the publics for love nor money. Oh, yes, also here in So Cal. It’s not advantage, it’s just sloth. There are great civilizations but not south of the border/ that’s what I think. And not in Africa, may I say.
Agreed. I’ve met some Peruvians who impressed me, but that’s about it. I mean, there are always individuals who rise above their culture (or sink below it) but the over-all culture emanating from Mexico is not one that has any interest in intellectual endeavor, self-denial, or honor. Not the kind of honor I understand, anyway. I suspect it goes back hundreds of years.
You are correct.
It’s prison chic.
Whatever it’s called its terrible. And the white girls here all seem to love it. Seems like every white girls I see is with some Mexican banger looking guy. I have Mexican guys intermarried in my family and none of them look like that.
I just shake my head.
