I intentionally moved out of an urban district so that I would not have to worry about teaching in an environment like this.
Let me ask the same question I asked another thread member. Do the parents bear any responsibility to teach civility and decorum?

Well, you did not answer my question, but I will answer yours. Yes, the parents bear the majority of the responsibility of making sure their children are ready for school, including teaching them civility and decorum. The breakdown is the culture, which they bring with them to school, and which the authorities apparently want all children exposed to by making sure our schools are "diverse."
I tutor and substitute in the public schools in FL. It affirms our decision to homeschool every day. I would still like to know the answer to my original question: If you were in a school district like the one described in the article, and for whatever reason had to stay there - you could not move to a better district, would you homeschool your child to get him or her out of that environment?
