Amen.
Here's the rub: Parent[s], if there are *2* parents in in scheme, are likely to be products of the same failed education enterprise...and so it goes...generational.

One thing right off the bat is stop naming your kids Navon, Trayvon, Larkisha, Dontavion, Sharniqu, and all the other stupid ghetto names thay doom you kids.
I'll bet the teachers in those schools aren't either.
The real questions are: if they aren’t proficient in the basics, then what are they preoccupied with during school and who is accountable in the school system for allowing that preoccupation?
Thank you for rounding out my thoughts. That's exactly it.
With his college education and degree he can teach swimming. Or he can join the navy.
At least some liberals oppose school choice because they really don’t want to see the darkies in their children’s classes.
Probably Yale or Harvard in order to get their diversity scores up. When you take a quota of minority kids who can’t pass your entry requirements, it doesn’t matter how uneducated or stupid they are. They are mostly not going to finish or they will be awarded degrees in some kind of Black Studies program the main requirement for which is being a member of the appropriate minority and showing up occasionally.
Congratulations to Warren and his mother. Glad he is succeeding and getting the hell out of Murdertown.
From an old City grad, June ‘62, proud of it and glad I got out of the city just in time.
We had a reunion in 2012 and over 150 classmates came. They were black and white, tall and short, longhaired and bald, but they were all successes. Several were Vietnam veterans. Others were military service veterans. Teachers, construction companies, we lost SciFi writer Jack Chalker many years ago, small businessmen, doctors, etc.
And we could all read, write and do math.
After the Dems, lead by Nancy Pelosi’s brother, the half-assed mayor, let the city burn in 1968, it has been downhill to hell ever since.
Navon - do your best to succeed. We are pulling for you.
No it is not. It is the parents' report card. And the report card of the community that allows and even encourages the behavior that leads to this result.
Years ago I had an Indian co-worker who told of growing up in a poor community as an obvious minority. If his mother ever hear even a whiff of bad behavior from one of her sons at school she would grab him by the ear and give it three revolutions (an exaggeration) before dragging him home by that ear. Didn't happen very often and he was a successful engineer.
Contrast that with the behavior at Evergreen College and I know exactly where the problem lies.
Those schools have cranked out the epitome of the Democrat Party’s base voter.
Reads like a story line from “The Wire” or the older “Homicide, Life On The Streets”.
Wonder if a production company would risk doing a third series there?
Liberals understand your sarcasm, but they still follow such a statement as sound advice. Not because they really want the school to pass, but because they want the money.
I bet you can multiply these schools budgets by 100 and they will still fail. The school is only good as the parents in the community.
Amen.

The Democrats have reinstated the policy of the Confederate states, in which it was illegal to educate a negro.
“consider than 80-90% of Christians are converted to secular humanism by the system just in time for high school grad”
I attribute that at least as much to bad parenting.
You left out an important part of the problem. One of the black guys at a weekly political breakfast I attend says “what our schools need is a better class of parents!”
Like UNC Chapel Hill. Https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_North_Carolina_academic-athletic_scandal
Progressives have ruined our republic.
“That’s your teachers report card, ultimately.”
Nonsense. It’s much more than just teachers, and admin. It’s a culture of resentment, carelessness, nonchalance when it comes to learning, because that would be “white”, who are racists.
“the hood gathers to scream like fools cause 19 and 20 year old Latishas and Treyvons finally be graduating.”
OMG you are so right!
My nieces (too influenced by the “hood” culture, as it is) graduated from Seton-Keough (closing this year, finally); as a Catholic school it had commencement in a beautiful cathedral. Before it really started, a host told people to withhold applause, pix, etc, until all were done.
What happened? When the pigmented started walking up, whooping and hollering and excessive clapping - and then it continued. And no one did anything about it, to shut their rude traps. I don’t think I heard my nieces’ names because they have to carry on.
