What to do when a school is infested with vermin...Unfortunately, in many schools, the vermin are the students, teachers, and administrators.

It is awful that so many inner city school systems produce such poor results.
But then you have to discuss issues such as a culture which derides doing well in school as acting white, issues such as teachers not being ng sbek to teach because they are overwhelmed with discipline problems in such schools, etc.

Sue the parents. Urban troubles all originate in the home, what is left of it.

Wrong.
They have a basic right to pursue literacy, not have it.

There is nothing in the constitution that requires public education at all.

What are they upset about? The teachers are doing well financially, that’s what matters most obviously.

Let me get this straight. They weren’t taught to read but they learned how to sue the government for not teaching them to read?
Might there be some lawyers using these illiterate stooges to enrich themselves?

...when textbooks are outdated,...
Funny, when those books were new people were learning to read with them.
While I do buy in on a certain level, when folks talk about schools that aren’t provided the new materials others are, there’s only so much I’ll buy off on.
Nobody can teach a kid that really doesn’t give a darn if they can read or not.
After years of people trying to teach them, now they think they can cash in off their own refusal. Bad luck with that.

When I went to school, early 60’s, the textbooks had been in use for decades. They still had our PARENTS’ NAMES in them from when they went to the same school..............

Blame the parents. I had my little girl knowing the alphabet and reading simple words, her 1-2-3’s before she entered kindergarten. We read and played word games every night. It starts at home.
