Jackson Mississippi where I come from is around 99% black in public schools...now everyone moves or finds a cheap school or homeschools.
I’m sorry to have offended you...maybe I should have rephrased that to exclude folks who are stuck and poor. My dad did not make money much till I was in college and he did very well. I eventually went to a private school that was 50/month in the early 70s
I myself just moved my family from Nashville Metro to rural Williamson county to get my kids approaching middle schoolm age away from this issue...it’s the only choice unless you wan to fork over 20K/year for a lib leaning private school.
The middle school there was around 70% black and you had 15 year old failed black eighth graders with 10 year old white 5th graders....beatings, gang sex in the bathrooms, shakedowns for lunch money and so forth...no thanks...sounds like my Jr High after forced busing.
Heheh...he’s worried about sending kids to a majority black school. Try living in a majority black city. We are working on the moving part.
“Not everyone has the means to escape public zoos.”
I felt that way until the first day of school this year. My son pleaded with me to home school him. He’s a senior, I bit the bullet and enrolled him in an accredited corespondent high school, verified with the local college and university. Cost $1200, they analyzed his transcript, set up a curriculum and mail his work to him each week. He completes the assignments and we mail back the tests. At the end of the year he has to complete a comprehensive exam. There’s a 1-800# help line and online help and resources.
He is actually learning now instead of being baby sat. There’s no disgust and disappointment at being trapped with ignorant, undisciplined juveniles , no more administrative BS and indoctrination crap, no more pathetically lazy and incompetent teachers. No more substitute teachers who watch MTV in class.
