You are so wrong! You have no idea what you are talking about! In New Jersey, we have these magical things called Abbot Districts. They are poor inner city districts that the State of New Jersey fully funds to the gills. They are building new schools and spending MORE per pupil then any district around. Camden spends more per pupil then almost every district in South Jersey and have for over 10 YEARS!!!! Guess what, last years drop out rate was still approaching 50%!!!!!!!!
You want to improve these inner city youths chances, you have to chang their lives. MONEY doesn't solve every problem. A strong family is the first thing these kids need. They need TWO parents, they need to stop having 3 or 4 kids by the time they are 18! End the welfare state, reward strong families in these communities and see how things improve!
Hell these districts are so overspent on that Clayton, NJ a nice suburban community is trying to get onto the Abbot District list so they can get new buildings and full funding!
As it is now, only the white upper middle to upper class has the chance at making into a good school, getting a good job, etc...
Wrong again. Accross the street from me live my neighbor Tony. He is a lot like me. He is middle class and a hard worker. He also happens to be black. His daughter was the Valedictoran of her school two years ago. She scored in the high 1300s on the SAT. She now attends Princeton. By the way, Tony is a professor at Rowan University! Good thing no one ever told him that he and his family could not prosper since they were black!
Fund inner city schools as much as you fund the suburban schools, fund rural schools as much as you fund suburban schools, and you will take away the need for AA.
In NJ, the Abbott Districts get more and have gotten more for over 10 years and are all still failing. MONEY DOES NOT SOLVE EVERYTHING!! Train teachers better for one. Strengthen the family for another. That is the recipe for success!
The only thing I don't like about AA is its reliance on color (which normally goes hand in hand with location and school funding), but you have others that slip threw the hole. I am more for a benefit to those who come from the lesser funded areas.
AA should be a remedy of last resort, not an entitlement or right!
Bob and Joe are equally smart kids, with equal amount of drive. Bob goes to a suburban prominently white school, Joe goes to an inner city or rural school. Bob will more then likely do better on the SAT, get into a good college, get a good job, make more money, etc... for his school can afford practice classes, his classes are better, etc... Joe who has to accept the minimal education he receives will do worst, and get into a sub standard college, get a sub standard job, and make less money. And the cycle goes on and on. There is no upward mobility that this country is said to represent. The rich get richer the poor get poorer.
WRONG AGAIN!! There are so many success stories available to prove you wrong that I will not even entertain this example!
BTW, Shouldn't you be in Russia by now you hippie-commie liberal!
