Mad kids are interested in learning but they don't have the resources available to them that other schools
Right...the only thing keeping them from performing well at their low rated schools are the lack of resources, and that's also the reason they aren't interested in learning.
Kids that are interesting in learning will usually find a way to learn, there are some kids that live in complete shytholes where there is no library and no access to the internet but this is not all(or maybe even most) poor kids and but I'm not just talking about black kids that grow up in poverty, i think many(if not most) black kids of all classes don't really care about learning. Many kids have access to a device that allows them to surf the internet, many kids have all of the information in the world at their finger tips but it doesn't get used for anything productive. I'm all for looking at the environment and school funding but we can't get retarded with it and pretend that the child or teen has little to no control over how well they do in school or what they know.
