[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no schools where the majority of the kids "don't care." Although, I'm also sure that the kids in Potomac who had the bright idea to speed faster than traffic cameras were geniuses who loved school. With bright futures. Cruelly cut short, by that horrible, mean car they were speeding in.

You are probably a person who would bristle at blaming a rape victim, because probably at Duke or Wellesley, you were told that was wrong.

But you have no issue blaming a bunch of minor children for their circumstance.

You are a disgusting piece of garbage.[/quote]

I believe in rainbows and smiles too, I just consider them irrelevant to strategic planning. At the end of the day I am a pragmatic actualist who believes that intent and greater good are fine variables but shouldn't interfere with actual results. At the end of the day arguments about fair, balance and equitable distribution are really only distractions from natural order where none of those apply. Life is only as fair as you can make it, diverse is only relevant against the commonality and most people will end up only a few degrees plus or minus socially from where the start and or where placed.

If your butter cup is special or lucky they will rise, if they are marginal or unlucky they will fall but most of everyone reading this kids will stay lock step in line with their environment that fostered them. Degrading ones environment for the sake of commute or urban idealism seems short sighted to me. The sad thing is most people actually agree with me and wouldn't put their kids in a really bad place like suitland high school but then they kid them selves about the shades of grey inbetween as a coping mechanism to rationalize/justify sending their kids to where they compromised when they bought. Who doesn't want to send their kids to the best schools but everybody can't go. It isn't surprising that those people figure the grapes were sour anyway and "wouldn't eat them even if they could".

Some people actually find that life is good, even if it doesn't cost a lot.[/quote]

This is true but it is rarely sustainable generationally at that level and those people often find their ability tedious in holding on to the things that make them happy. Without influence and power you are left to the whims of people who do have it and they will let you be happy only as long as it doesn't inconvenience them. [/quote]
