But some of the kids you just gotta blame the parents / home situation. 1 parent, no parents, abusive/negligent parents at home. Then I switch to a high-income school and 90% of the kids are goddamn angels. And this environment with help out so many of the kids in from the first school too. But because they grew up with shitty/ non existent role models they were set up to fail. I feel bad for the teachers at low-income schools too. It's way harder to teach there, they get paid less, and they have to fight the kids' parents to try and turn them into well-behaved kids. --- http://i.imgur.com/FS3aeNW.png http://i.imgur.com/Hy9IDHK.gif <cite>WizardPowers posted [p:900760493] in Poverty ha...
