After watching videos on the Detroit, Chicago & Baltimore school districts, how can it be fixed? Honestly--all bs aside.

have better and more invovled parents.

All the good schools in Chicago have heavily involved parents.


Edit: For the "what if the parents works a million hours a week" crowd. Someone from the family, or a guardian of that child, need to be involved.. If kids see someone they love excited about education, they'll be excited as well.

Everyone basically summed it up. As long as parents continue to have children when there clearly not ready (or will ever be ready) for one will forever hold our children in a chokehold. Teachers should not be substituting for aint shyt mothers and fathers

Also yeah Teachers need to be paid more for the shyt they have to put up with. At least be able to get by on a cheap house and billings

That’s not really a good excuse considering all of our parents had to do this. Bottom line education just isn’t a priority like it used to be. When parents aren’t involved the kids really aren’t gonna give a fukk which trickles down to how they act in school which results in less qualified teachers actually giving a fukk about their job

income inequality has grown increasingly worse so no it's not the same. when a person doesn't have much money and the cost of living continues to increase, that person will be preoccupied with working more hours with little time to invest in their own educational growth and that of their children.
In addition to that people don't even know what they don't know because poverty is a vicious cycle.

It's a deep issue. But they shouldn't have had children in the first place then. It's my biggest gripe about trash parents.

a good portion of those children likely weren't conceived as a result of family planning and you're assuming they had options available to them. a lot of these parents just went with the flow.

Poster said it is a deep issue.. They're not lying. It'll blow your mind why some of these women have kids. Are you involved in your community?

Let’s be honest tho. Income inequality has always been an issue in the black community. Our grandparents and great grandparents grew up dirt poor. But they knew education was the only way to succeed so they instilled that on their kids. Parents just ain’t willing to make the same sacrifices now and many of them look at their kids as a burden

the internet
they got to work more than 40 hours a week to keep up with the bills since they don't have living wage and get a good nights sleep. when can they be involved? little to no discretionary money in the household budget likely increases the stress felt by everyone.
thats not why people are shytty parents.

its irresponsible people that cant think past their nose.
they abuse the kids...
...teach them bullshyt, etc...

its basically a$$holes raising a$$holes.

the schools can only do so much.

if a kid is in the hood and wants to do better he has to figure out how to avoid getting beat up on his way to school, in school and leaving school.

that child also has to be able to realize his parents dont know shyt and avoid taking on their bad habts.

you cant raise a doctor in that environment.
it takes a special person

the shyt is complicated.

Its all that simple.. A lot of these women had kids trying to tie a nikka down and it didn't work. Now they look at their kid, especially if its a boy, with resentment. I see this shyt with my own eyes.
