[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Public HS way back out town had our own school district and had mansions with no kids and lucrative commercial property tax base. We had maybe 15-16 minorities in my 1,000 person HS.

We had an equestrian team, go kart racing, Olympic pool, 32 tennis courts, free drivers Ed, free SAT tutors was glorious not sending out tax dollars to support deadbeats in other towns [/quote]
That's nice. Why don't you raise your kids there so they don't have to mix with poor kids?  [/quote]

we try, but some are convinced that if only illiterate poor kids could only wittiness my kids doing algebra and going to lacrosse practice then hundreds of years of being exploited and abused will disappear. [/quote]

Where’d the study on the education, literacy, and culture of the parents? Isn’t that the main driver of ones attitude towards learning, work ethic, discipline?

Until the left addresses this it will just be more bandaid money, wasted time, subpar education thrown down the garbage. [/quote]
I think the "left" is trying to address it, at least here, by providing all kinds of parenting classes, education classes, supports ,etc..

So,  if you think it's "wasted time", what should we do with these *children*?  Should we kick them out of school?

Let's play this out.. let's say we kick them out of school.  Then what? What type of adults do  you think these children will become? What do you think this means long term for our society?  Do you know that overall, it costs more to house a person in prison than it does to provide free PreK, meals, and support throughout their school years?

From an overall fiscal perspective, it's a lot cheaper for our society to support children through their school years than it is to house them in prison long term in jails.
