Why the riots?
6.?There is nothing systemically wrong with the USA. Not racial
injustice. That was gone long ago. Not class warfare. That?s ancient history. This is a super great country. It?s good to anyone who is willing to acquire human capital in the form of education as lawyer, doctor, plumber, or electrician. If there is a problem, it?s the looters, murderers, and arsonists, and their pals in the media. This is a great, great country, and if the media tells you different, they are lying. And the cops, 99 percent of them, are great people. Let?s thank them ? not kick them for protecting us. Ben Stein said that. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

And, those changes have to start with parents. I don't see that happening any time soon. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

More on improvement of tracking. Worst thing we did to schools was letting the academics change the schools to all college prep and hoping the kids who should have been in shop class, etc. went to community college to learn. Admit all kids are not geniuses or excited to learn calculus. |

Admit all kids are not geniuses or excited to learn calculus. They don't even teach basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills in the schools where these problem kids are. It is really hard to direct help to that demographic since we are not allowed to single anyone out. |

The other problem is when a school system does try to use additional resources to help kids with remedial learning they get in trouble because those classes are not racially diverse enough. It looks like they are stigmatizing black kids for being morons so they just pass them along without learning basic skills. You are right about the parents tho. When there are two or three generations of illiterate parents it is hard to have much of a support system at home, assuming there is a home. |

If a kid is out and about during school hours the police will stop and find out why. No valid excuse, they are taken to school. Here, you have a parent complain when the police detain a 12 year old who is out at 12:30am during rioting. |
