[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, this is beyond the extreme with these pummeling references.
This is not happening in the DCPS system.  If anything the era has turned and many of the smart kids are the new breed of bullies.  Quite honestly being smart and a smart-ass kid are all too similar.  At times teachers unintentionally fuel the fire with overboard recognition of the bright child in the class.  To become the teacher's pet can become a need to warrant a teacher's protection.[/quote]

this can happen in a lot places, but where poor kids live it is usually not the case. The reality is that in this area the face of poverty is AA, but nationwide there are more poor white folks than AA or Hispanic or Asian.  Poverty is not conducive to educational opportunity no matter your race.  [/quote]

DC is a city with incredible opportunities for making money.  People from all all walks of life, from all around the country, and all around the world come here because of the opportunities it offers.  There for the taking, yet some of those who are already here evidently can't be bothered to go after those opportunities.  And so, they stay in poverty.

As they say, the Lord helps those who help themselves.  Some don't want to be taught to fish, they just want to keep being given fish.[/quote]
