You're right, the economics definitely plays a large role within this equation. I however, am not dismissing the role of the parent nor the child in this case, rather taking a look at the schools. As always in these schools, there is a precedent set from elementary school with this truant behaviour.

1200 kids are being suspended from kindergarten up to 2nd grade annually.

Whenever these threads are made, we know that people are going to get on the parents, as they should to an extent. But all parties are to blame here.

The problem with throwing the blame around is we don't get to actionable programs. I'm saying the school can be reevaluated, and in terms of early childhood measures of discipline within the school that clearly needs to change as well.

What is your actionable program for a parent that doesn't care?
Yeah dog them lil mfs get suspended they be bad as hell :francis:

A lot of schools are going away from out of school suspension and instead going for in school suspension and “restorative justice” practices.

I don’t blame the schools for this shyt it’s not much they can do.

The community is just way too fukked up. The government is going to have to find a solution for the drug problem, generational poverty, violence, mental health issues, etc. It’s just a sad, fukked up situation all around.

The school system is VERY well funded.:yeshrug: it's 90% on the parents. Drive around downtown, half these people look like fukking zombies.
Alot of that money doesn’t go to the students tho. You had multiple schools with no heat and kids were in class with coats on. Employees for the school board on the payroll who don’t even actually work for the school board. shyt is corrupt as hell

I do agree about most of it being on the parent tho but that money isn’t used how it should be

fukk that everything starts at home. Parents just send their kids off to school and think the job is done. That is not parenting, they aren’t involved in their own kid’s education and they expect teachers to pick up the slack for their child when they already got 20+ or more kids to worry about on top of being under paid. These parents are failing their kids.

Everything about the school system needs to change. There are a lot of socio-economic issues that should be addressed. I feel that kids who have support systems at home, like involved parents or grandparents, should be gifted an education to private school. They spend something like $15k per pupil, per year, and at a "decent" private school, that's two years of schooling.

Those without the support at home should have a slimmed down curriculum, at least for elementary school, consisting of reading, writing, arithmetic, and social/behavioral lessons. Most other subjects are useless if you can't read and comprehend. In middle and high school, more complex subjects can be introduced.

I also think students should graduate high school with either an associates degree or a completed apprenticeship. I daydream about this topic often.

Democrats policy keeps these below poverty areas thriving for decades where multiple generations are raised in the same broken environment.
Cut public housing/Section 8 and foodstamps to 5 years max and you can never sign up again. Within those 5 years you must have been able to pickup a high demand skill which the city would pay for. Bring back trades and drivers Ed to high school. Teach students how picking a non in demand field in college can set you back decade after you graduate. Teach parents and students financial literacy. Between every 5 years you get thousands of fresh families that are financially stable going out into the community.

If you have more than 2 kids with different fathers you should get penalized instead of rewarded with state and federal benefits for damn near life and more benefits the more children you have. Reward 2 parent households with more tax deductions to encourage those types of homes.

You have to get to the root of this problem if you are really trying to end the current fukkery in every major city.
