Well, speaking as an urban school teacher with 20+ years of experience, I was not unhappy to see my chronically truant students stay truant. Because when they were present, they were violent, and very, very disruptive.

God bless you.

Have you ever read this essay?

Hello SkyPilot,

Yes, I have seen the article you linked to. And for many reasons, it just doesn't ring true to me. It seems like whoever wrote that piece has an agenda beyond just reporting the truth.

Don't get me wrong. I've seen a lot of black-instigated violence, and a lot of black racism. I could tell you a hundred stories if you had the time.

But the majority of black students are not like the article proposes. Most of them just want to get by, and perhaps learn something significant along the way. And some of them will even give up their free time for extra help.

It's the minority of urban black students - perhaps 15% - who have wrecked urban schools with their ignorance and their violence. Why that is allowed I'll leave for another time.

Regards, LR

That is the stark reality of The Black Underclass. They cannot be educated, trained, or civilized...only maintained/warehoused somehow under the current system.

They will always be an enormous drag on the progress of the rest of black Americans and the country as a whole.

This essay sounds like it was written by someone who has no clue about growing up and living in the city. Frankly, I was shocked that anyone, the writer, didn’t know about this stuff.That is was surprising to him/her. Totally made the essay/writer a joke.

I get that some don’t know/realize what it’s like in the inner city/city/urban areas but really, this writer sounds like a child. Or a bleeding heart liberal.

This article states that white women teachers can’t imagine or control black students. WTF? How racist is that? It’s not that “white women teachers” can’t imagine or control a class full of black students...it’s that white liberal women can’t control them or understand.

Oh I can teach them, I can control them and their behavior isn’t shocking to me because it’s their behavior, not what the media, the government, the white guilters, are trying to portray. It’s the reality!

I find it shocking that it’s shocking to people, lol. This is what the culture is like and has been for at least 50 years.

We can’t teach them, control them, when we aren’t allowed to discipline them. And that is the bottom line.

“it did no good to try to quiet them, and white women were particularly inept at trying. I sat in on one woman’s class as she begged the children to pipe down. They just yelled louder so their voices would carry over hers.”

She BEGGED the children to pipe down...yeah begging works. Really? Their voices carried over hers? And she allowed that? Of course she did since she BEGGED them to pipe down.LMAO!

And we wonder why teachers can’t or won’t control their classes/have classroom management skills.
