[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, it might challenge your worldview if your kids actually went to school with low-income kids.
Right now, you can pretend that these kids have been "allowed to fail" because the government just isn't doing enough for them.

You certainly don't want to discover that many of the poor families in Alexandria live that way because the government makes poverty so comfortable for them.
We spend top dollar to build first class schools, rec centers, public housing, etc.  Our progressive educators ditch "traditional" educational theories and pander to the students, dumbing down the curriculum to make it fun/relevant/easy for them.  All of our efforts make it that less likely that kids will ever escape "poverty."  They have no incentive to work/learn, so they embrace the lazy entitlement mindset of their forebears.

But please take your kids to the suburbs so they won't have to see these things first hand. Keep teaching them that some day, a more progressive government
will finally spend and do enough for these kids to help them overcome poverty.  Liberals love to embrace "diversity"--by which they mean they want their kids to have upper/middle class friends of all races.  It's much easier to believe in the nobility of the poor and the unlimited possibilities of progressive government from a comfortable and safe distance.
