Gee, the schools in Burlington, VT and Portland, OR aren't so bad - Democratic as they come.
Are you sure it's the political party that's making the difference?
You can’t make the parents care about their kids.
Especially when the kids are seen as a means to the end of receiving a check from the govt and not having to work.
The actual kids themselves are a nuisance to be put up with for the sake of the check.
I don’t know why this obvious point is repeatedly overlooked by conservatives-we’re supposed to be the ones on the side of truth, let the chips fall where they may.
Indeed - while many factors may contribute one major factor is always excused away or purposely overlooked. Too many conservatives run away from this.
My kid went to school in Portland OR and I can tell you that it was that bad. Teachers had a quota on how many children of color per week they could discipline (send to the principle’s office, put in ‘time-out, et) ... couldn’t go over the quota no matter the offense.
Yes, it was that bad.
