My year of terror and abuse teaching at a NYC high school

No I know all about impoverished youth and education. You just have to take a flight to any number of places. Canada and the US are not two of those places so I do understand where you are coming from however I am hoping that you someday get the opportunity to get out a little more.

The most silliest of the naïve rabbits convince themselves that this behavior is tied to poverty and that kids can magically "be educated" without attending class and working for it or worse that there is a magical sum of money that "educates" them and that sum is all that is missing.

i love that you know nothing about america cause you don't live here but yet, you know everything about what's wrong with america and how it should be fixed.

bait elsewhere.

Nope. Just saying that the n word is used, negro not so much. And it won't be added to the curriculum because as long as we keep saying it to each other the people in charge are happy.

Person in charge of the Dept of Education was Arne Duncan. You know, the former chief executive officer of the Chicago Public School system, another smoothly run bastion of what an education system in a democratic utopia should be. Now it's John B. King, the former "Commissioner of Education for the Great State of New York".

Both appointed by Barak O-Vomit.

You're saying the people in charge are happy and this is the cause? All this progress culminating with a black president and a black secretary of education (who was formerly commissioner of education for NY state) sounds to me like the electorate, not the people in charge, are the ones who are "happy" with it.

Summary: You are running out of places and people to blame. Eventually you'll be left with nothing but the nasty little mouths who actually open and say it

How it should be fixed? "I never said that"

I think I'll park right here for a bit longer. This is fun.

NOTE: Missing is your answer on the existence of a magical formula mixture of hero teachers and sums of money that somehow combines to "educate" someone who is not interested in being educated

How to fix the school system?

Lower the standards of examinations / school entry

my bad. you're right, you never offered any solutions. just blame the poor (who aren't actually poor) and obama. typical.

why do you think they have no interest in being educated?

Wasn't me who blamed the people in charge LOL. You might need to catch your snap because you sure are having trouble focusing on who says what.

I hope you aren't pretending that somehow the word "negro" is OK today either. As to the other, this is a lesson that maybe we should add to the basic curriculum of our public schools since that seems to be where it has been brushed off and "owned" as you put it.

Why are these two words so important to you? Is it because you would like to add them to your daily vocabulary usage and you want to know what people will think of you?

Are you saying you agree with this?

[Expat1 971]

I would guess that a significant clue on interest would be whether or not the student walks in the classroom and sits down and listens.

Unless there is a magical sum of money that would overcome this as well?

catch my snap?

i'm not going to promenade along with your troll, i know what you've said thus far and so do you.

(laughing) You think that word is important to me? Maybe I'd "file a lawsuit" over that word? "OH someone offended me so I can't work, I'm disabled now, I need to file a claim"

Answer: I could add anything I want to my daily vocabulary here and nobody would give two sticks about it. I'm still puzzled, when I see it/hear it, why that word is still so common in the community.

Actually, you're off point, AGAIN.

I'm talking about the fact you can sing songs with the N-word in them. And they make money. Are we going to blame PRESIDENT Obama for that? Because I'm pretty sure that's been going on way before he took office. That's not just black people buying into it. Like you said, you like Steady Mobbing. If the people in charge didn't want this vulgarity playing, it wouldn't get airtime or promotions. But since it's a money maker AND it degrades black people, it will continue.

Summary: You want to blame a black person. I get it. It's your thing(when it's not about Islam, it's a decent backup). And for some of it, I place it on us as well. We promote this f******. But don't think for a second people in charge couldn't change this overnight if they wanted too. Because I'll bet my life if I made a song called Crackers in California, it wouldn't make it off the demo floor. But N***** in Paris? No problem.

So why are you interested in this topic? How does this benefit you?

works for the military.

public education has to be funded, good teachers need to be paid properly. the best place to start in inner city schools with overwhelming disciplinary issues is a better teacher to student ratio in the classroom.

Then why don't you repeat what you say in here daily about Islam out loud. I'm curious to see what the reaction would be, since as you put it, no one would give two sticks about it.
