[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crummy schools have had trillions dumped into them over the last 40 years. People do not change. Whether it’s culture or genetics, I don’t know. What I do know is that the needle NEVER moves. All the so called improvements are fake, the result of cheating, data juking and other manipulating schemes. And we need stop painting inner city teachers and admins as selfless saints. The most unqualified POS six-figure admins I’ve ever dealt with were inner city admins.[/quote]

I worked in one of those schools.  The problem was not the teachers or the admin or the curriculum or the students.  The problem was poverty, which schools don't cause and can't solve alone.  No amount of money put into a school for anything at all is going to help a kid who goes home to a crack house every day, who is abused, hungry, whose mom leaves him locked out of the house all night while she has "clients" in, and so on.  All that really happens and it happens right here in Northern Virginia.  That's why the needle doesn't move.  It's people that need money, not schools.[/quote]

Exactly. And that so many folks are ready to blame the kids for their situation says all you need to know about the people throwing stones.[/quote]
