Yeah, it's hard to not blame the school when a student with a GPA of 0.137 is in the top half of his class.

As a parent, it's your responsibility to monitor your child's grades. She should have been reviewing his report card each grading period. If he had a GPA under 1.0, he's been making F's. A lot of them. Don't you think as a parent it's her responsibility to get involved and get her child the help and support he needs to succeed? It just seems like parenting 101.

How do we educate the parents? They are the problem

It's the same in NYC, it's pretty obvious which kids aren't allowed to play on weekends until all their homework is done and checked, and which kids are handed a bag of doritos in the morning before they start on a sponge bob 12 hour TV marathon

They are unwilling to state the real reasons for inner city educational failures:

1. single parent families
2. parents who do not care about education
3. black culture which celebrates violence, but ignores education
4. drugs

Those school districts are flooded with money. However, no amount of money will ever make the students successful, as there is no culture, parental support, and individual effort which is required for success.

One hundred years from now black America will be in the very same spot they are in currently, as they refuse to correctly identify the problem and set about changing things. As long as they play the role of the victim and blame others for their problems, they are doomed to perpetual failure.

Our cities in the US are slowly progressing to third world nations and prisons without walls.

The influencer generation has a point system for victimhood in the Oppression Olympics

It's shameful but these people never had parents who instilled proper values in them so they feel no shame for not overcoming. The parents never gave them enough space to overcome anything, and they sheltered them from any character building situations. They now choose to lie down like hapless soccer players faking an injury from another player while their team fakes outrage from the sidelines.

Black mayor elected by the people, majority of council members are black and elected by the people, black school commissioners appointed by the mayor. What gives?? Certainly can't be related to white supremacy like everything else is.

Of course, the coddled teacher unions won't have it in many places.
I worked for a Catholic school as a custodian and one thing I noticed is, that the kids learned and the teachers were in charge.
