Greetings to everyone,

Where is DUE Season Charter School and did it ever exist? I was born and raised in the City of Camden, New Jersey. I don't remember ever hearing about such a school on Mount Ephraim Avenue. I moved out of the City of Camden, New Jersey about 15 years ago because of the educational system.

Beatrice,

The school opened about 3 years ago. It is located in Virtua Hospital, on Mt. Ephraim. Being that you moved out of Camden 15 years ago, I don't think you would have heard of it. It is a good school, lots of wonderful teachers, (though most are quitting because they are being poorly treated by the Admin. (close to a 60% turnover rate I believe).

Listen, I grew up in Woodbury, NJ. Blacks and whites. People in Camden CHOOSE to sell crack. I don't want to hear it. Go get a job anywhere. If you sell drugs that you know are illegal, WTF do you think is gonna happen? I was not rich, but I worked. I stocked shelves. That led to a better job. I eventually joined the service, went to college, now I manage a hotel. My point is MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. The Military is ALWAYS there. Lower your damn eyebrows and stop ACTING tough, because without the gun=punks! Get a life....be a man!!!!! Its funny how the black and Spanish WOMEN make it. THEY ARE NOT LAZY!!!! THATS WHY!!!!! LAZY!!!!!!

What works for you may not work for other people. As sad as this sounds, some people don't have a choice. It's either they sell drugs or go striving. I do agree though that you got some lazy people out there that could be going places but they chose to sit their ass back and take the easy route out. You know.. but really though, when you're out of options, what are you going to do? Hell... and let's be real here, in a society like America, there's always going to be that kind of stuff. Can you imagine if everybody in America was smart and there wasn't people getting involved with drug dealing? People will suffer. The nice neighborhood you live in, if you live in it, wouldn't get the recognition it deserves.
