What else do you expect when the middle as well as upper classes, of all races, have fled the government schools and the underclass birthrate is so high that the government schools effectively have few but the underclass outside of the better suburbs and rural areas?

Can you blame people for fleeing those schools, if they have the opportunity? My siblings and I each approached our parents at our own times to ask to be transferred to private school. We did it to get away from public schools where we were just a number among violence, drugs and sex.

Not that there weren't drugs and sex at the parochial school I went to, but at least there drugs and sex were just a "hobby" - your future education and career came first.

I absolutely hated public school, when I went. I spent most of the time either skipping or high - and I was part of an OK suburban district. I can't even imagine really bad schools.

Something must be done with the school system - I unfortunately do not know what.

Something must be done with the school system - I unfortunately do not know what.

Simple to resolve. Privatize the entire school system. Disband the NEA. Require a valid high school diploma for any sort of work that pays wages.

Those who won't learn can starve. After a generation the problem will be licked. Unfortunately it will take this generation of nominally human animals dying out in order to fix the problem. If they live they just reproduce more like themselves. (No matter what the color or nationality, people raise kids the way they were raised. These kids weren't raised at all, their kids will be animal level in behavior)
