My kid goes to a public school and I am sick and tired of those ghetto kids bringing down the standard and making good performance look like its a shameful "white" thing... If you study hard, do your homework then you're not keeping it real! You are supposed to be a dumb-witted lazy-a..s underwear-showing thug to be respected... So I am taking my kid out of that hood and into a private school. Are you with me?

Some reading for you...
A book that says "Yes, that does happen" --

A book that says education is indeed valued by young people in the inner-city slums:

A book that says ghetto schools are, yes, awful:

Re. "Are you with me?" No, thank heavens; I'm not American. But I suspect I might be if I was.

Let me see if I got this right.... According to what you said, this must be true...
1. White kids are smart and hardworking.
2. Black kids are dumb and lazy.
3. Black kids make fun of white kids because they are smart.
4. Black kids are thugs.
If your child is anything like you, he is probably getting picked on for a lot of other things besides good grades. But to answer your question, kids pick on kids for everything and anything. I bet you that the smart hardworking wealthy white kid is picking on the dumb lazy black kid because he is poor and lives in the ghetto. It happens. Let's trying being a little more respectful to other races, maybe your child will make some friends so he won't get picked on. (But now you have to worry about him smoking pot, because all dumb lazy black kids smoke pot, white kids don't do drugs)

yes just because it is cool to be stupid and show it dose not mean that it is good.
most cool things are brainless and those who follow the trend just bring down the standards of the ones that want an education.
The schools should all go back to a higher standard of dress as well as academic achevment.

I'm old enough to see the message in the media that excellence is for suckers. Our kids are not. I hope I live to see the time that this has run its course...

Good. That's in your kid's best interest.
