There is a reason these schools are failing and it isn't because of the teachers. By sending these kids to "passing" schools will not fix the problem because these same kids will continue to fail. These kids are raised by a community that has no regard for authority and looks at school as being unimportant. These kids dropout of school to either make easy money by selling drugs, stealing, etc... or follow the tradition of getting on welfare. Why would these kids continue to go to school, earn an education and get a good paying job when they have learned to sit at home, collect welfare and never have to work a day in their life? The welfare system needs to be almost completely done away with and then kids would be more inclined to go to schoo. - Captain Obvious Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:55:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/8775-one-step-forward-one-step-back#comment-20471 When will Chaisson speak to this he was fired up during the election i voted for him.Its been nearly a year seems like he just got in where he fit in. - neutral party Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:40:17 +0100
