> ultra-ghetto urban public schools
It is always disappointing, to come from one of these districts and then having obtained social mobility through talent and luck, to see what my new peers (since I assume most of us here have gone to a top tier school and work somewhere in tech/finance) think of my neighborhood. No care for how these situations happened.
- giantg2 5y agoI can see that. The language choice is certainly distracting and inappropriate. I would hope that people discussing the issues in education would be some evidence that they do care. Maybe misguided in some instances, but at least trying to identify root causes and solutions. If we don't talk about the problems, then they won't get fixed.
- mistrial9 5y agomy language choice is specific and well-earned; the city I am describing is consistently top ten in murder rates in the general population, and has some of the lowest graduation rates in the USA.
- giantg2 5y agoGhetto is generally derogatory. You could easily use other words to describe it.
- mistrial9 5y agomy advanced placement programs were evaporated and replaced with "no child left behind".. there were more than forty languages spoken at home in this school district. You can read for yourself the other parents' comments about the results. Good on you for getting the benefits of this society and escaping the slums and their ways.
- xanaxagoras 5y agoIt is always disappointing, to go into any thread anywhere on the internet, and have some language police clutch his pearls and feign offense where clearly none exists.
- SpaceManNabs 5y agoThe exceedingly rude response that I expected when I wrote that comment.
- xanaxagoras 5y agoHappy I could oblige, I'm ultimately just your little puppet here to serve and prove what you already know.
