[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if fully one-third of your child’s class was comprised of kids who were simultaneously prone to physical violence, lacked intellectual curiosity and were flat out unable to behave themselves in a civilized manner. Welcome to middle school at DCI, an abject failure by any objective standard. [/quote]

DCI is a public school that must educate everyone and meet kids (all of them) where they are. If they literally can’t engage 1/3 of the students, they need to retrain their teachers. [/quote]

Have you ever paused to consider the fact that it is the fault of the kids (coupled with the parents who don’t raise them) and not the fault of the teachers? Whenever there is a failure in the community, the community never says: this failure is our fault, we need to do better. Instead, the community invariably blames someone outside the community, eg, the teachers, the police, the gun laws, the economy, the President and even (according to Trayon White) the jews who are manipulating the weather. At some point, should you look inside the community for the cause of the problem?
