I was a horrible student before I went into the military. I did what
it took to pass. That was pretty much what I saw going on around me
too.
It did not take long before I figured out grades were important to the
military and I was the top recruit in boot camp and tutoring others in
FT school. I had a whole lot easier life.
Since then I am always at or near the top of my class.

I think most students would be well served by going to a military
school a while before they start college. You might start seeing "4
year" degrees in 2 or 3 years from those people.
The university system would never put up with it because there is a
lot of money in it for them to make college as slow as they can. You
pay by the hour not by the degree

I get it! More guns. That's the motivation. Give me a ****ing break.
You clearly don't give a **** about anyone else's life experience.
What about getting shot at in the inner city? I guess that doesn't
count.

I spent a lot more time in the inner city than you and I have been
shot at twice.
That is not what we were talking about tho is it?

How many of those inner city kids have the grades to get in college in
the first place? Graduation rates are in the mid 30% and most of them
barely read at the 8th grade level.
If you do find a kid who can make it to college, I salute them. They
will have the desire to succeed and they have a very good chance of
actually getting something out of it.

What is really sad, is these inner city kids think it is to "whitey" to
study and learn. Just got back from 3 weeks in South Africa. The Soweto
uprising was over education. The Whites in charge changing the schools to
teach in a language the kids did not know. Depriving them of education.

What would those children in SA think of those in Chicago? Maybe it is
the
same in the inner cities as in SA. Keep the children ignorant and we get
to
stay in power. Just not the Caucasian in control.

You, like a lot of others here sure are quick to lump everyone into one
narrow minded category.


-----------------

unfortunately that is what the African-Americans in the inner city are
thinking about education.

There are many, many stories of inter-city AA's picking themselves up
and making something of themselves. Again, the trouble I'm having is
with you and other's narrow mindedness. You lump everyone into a narrow
category.



What do you say about the lack of support or
changing the graduation rate. Seems as if the powers that be in Chicago are
still the same powers that be for a lot of years. They seem to be profiting
from ignorance.

I say it sucks, but it still has nothing to do with you and others being
narrow minded.
