Fixing our City Schools

[yo mama]

Unfortunately with all the inclusion nonsense and political correctness this will never happen. Too bad. We have to sacrifice the 3's to save the 1's and 2's.

I wouldn't say we have to sacrifice them. But you can only lead a horse to water. If it won't drink, you gotta move on.

Why do you have to blame them? I didn't say that the mom had to be a stay-at-home mom - it's ideal, but not required. It just takes more communication, dedication and help to pull it off when the mom works outside too - nannies, grandparents, neighbors, whatever. And to any single parents out there, good luck to you and god bless if you're pulling this off alone...

Yep, right after the feminist movement.

My wife likes to watch Supernanny, or Nanny 911 shows so that we can feel superior.

 

You want to see how kids become criminals? Watch that show. Kid was barely 2 years old, and his Dad was yelling at him for dropping his fork on the floor. Mom not punishing a kid who she "was pretty sure was lying, but didn't know 100%". Mom, that kid was lying. How do you not know? You're a mom! This isn't a criminal case... it's not even Judge Judy!

I see a woman in the night

With a baby in her hand

Under an old street light

Near a garbage can

Now she puts the kid away,

and she's gone to get a hit

She hates her life,

and what she's done to it

There's one more kid

that will never go to school

Never get to fall in love,

never get to be cool.

We forget that the parents are 3's themselves. And the cycle continues...

My humble plan to fix this piggybacks a bit on Yo's ideas.

 

You have 3 basic types of students;

 

1. Smart, motivated, college bound

2. Not so smart, still a bit motivated, probably not college material

3. Losers, dummies, thugs, gang-bangers, rappers, drug dealers, ho's.

 

Beginning in the ninth grade you funnel the 1's into college prep, ie traditional High school. You funnel the 2's into vocational courses.

 

Starting in elementary school you create a special school "vertical", for the 3's to keep them segregated and don't allow them to pollute/contaminate the 1's and the 2's. Think of this school as a penal feeder system.

 

Unfortunately with all the inclusion nonsense and political correctness this will never happen. Too bad. We have to sacrifice the 3's to save the 1's and 2's.

didnt know you were a socialist... thats how it works in most socialist countries ..
