yeah..one of my 1st grade kids (who is severely autistic, we're waiting for him to get placed but the city isn't doing it) is out of control. There was a loose piece of fiberglass on the cd player, so he took it off and threw it at my head. He was inching towards me with a fist. This kid could do some damage to me. He's really overweight and not that much smaller than I am, and i'm sure he weighs more than my 115 pounds.

These are just regular things that happen in schools in the worst neighborhoods of the country *sigh*

Some of the worst neighborhoods I have ever seen were in Birmingham, Alabama. The overall quality of life in that city sucks in general.

New Orleans neighborhoods are no suprise.

In Washington DC = Barry Fams, Trinidad, Washington Highlands (one third of the city's 181 homicides in 2007 occurred there.), Sursum Corda (used to be BAD but I think is going under redevelopment), Half street Carrolsburg/ Buzzard Point area, Greenleaf Gardens, ect ect ect. Those are some of the worst in DC.

Richmond VA you have Mosby, and some other nasty projects.

Hood to Hood Mosby Courts Richmond VA
YouTube - hood to hood part 20

Hillside Courts Richmond VA (rap video)
YouTube - OTB's Videos InDastreets Richmond Va Hillside southside



North Saint Louis, East Saint Louis, Gary Indiana, Little Rock, are all pretty equal in my opinion.

Odessa Texas? What a dump.

South Carolina trap houses? ever seen em? 11 of the top 25 worst public schools are in South Carolina! Who the hell is in control of that state?
South Carolina is Home to 11 of Nation’s 25 Worst Public Schools « The Voice for School Choice

West Charllotte NC is bad.

East-End Newport News is bad. (Michael Vick land)


EVERY CITY has bad area's.

Stuff like that will happen in any big school, not just in bad neighborhoods. I lived in a city with a pop. of about 120k and our high schools had things just like that happen. In the first semester of one school year ,there were a record of over 100 fights, within the next two months of the next semester there were 40 fights. They had a call in the swat team to control a riot that started up one day.

He doesn't have to teach to know that this stuff goes on in a lot of big city school districts. Especially since he said he was in one. Miami has a higher crime rate than NYC so I'm sure they have plenty of bad schools as well.

That's like me telling someone that they don't know that fire is hot because they don't run into burning buildings like me.

When has has a neighboorhood been so bad it made national news or single handledy put the entire city in a state of emergency?..Watts does it, but thats rioting..

yeah, but its kinda normal there, the avg people hit in a shooting is 2-4. and im talking about every shooting. i remember just a few weeks ago before that, a baby and 3 men were hit with an ak47( which didnt make big news,just local) and the baby died with the intended target. the baby was a police dispatchers kid.
