[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I see is a bunch of parents (not the honor student from TAL episode, that's an outlier) who failed their kids by not enforcing education at home who made their own school a failing one by failing tests and failing attendance.

Now these parents relinquish responsibility for the failure and demand that it's school's fault they didn't make their kids succeed.

And you want to fix this at the expense of my kid?  My kid is supposed to be a crutch for your failing kid?   I don't think so.  Your success is your job and you have to work for it. No one owes you anything.[/quote]

Your kid will be fine, whether a poor kid sits next to them or whether they go to a crappy school. You're the parents of honor students, naturally.

If you do not understand the racism that is baked into most civic institutions in this country, maybe you should go back to school yourself and learn those pieces of our nation's history. I suspect that you do know this, though, and you just prefer to tell yourself that it's all about personal responsibility. [/quote]
