Classrooms that are constantly noisy, chaotic, mean-spirited, rife with bullying (oh but you gotta look at both sides), and even real fists on faces violent - are NOT promoting healthy child development.

There may be exceptions but in general schools in poor black communities haven’t been properly educating students probably since integration. They’ve never allowed for there to be anything but a white suburban education model forced on urban black youth who respond by decimating it.

If black people were allowed to govern their own schools grandmothers would patrolling the halls and classes and the students would be shutting the **** up and learning to read and do math.

Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton are classic examples of people with big opinions who don’t have a ****ing clue what’s going on in the trenches.

Suddenly school is so important. Then why wasn’t it important to correct the problem that about half the kids never learned ****?
