The share of births to Hispanic women has grown dramatically, to one-in-four. > Another notable change during this period was the rise in births to unmarried women. In 2008, a record 41% of births in the United States were to unmarried women, up from 28% in 1990. The share of births that are non-marital is highest for black women (72%), followed by Hispanics (53%), whites (29%) Granted those are just racial points and not socioeconomic statistics, im sure some parallel data will support what im saying. ---

Parenting is the key to all pre-university schooling. Kids don’t need to have schools to learn. I spent countless hours on homework with my parents. If it was wrong, I wasn’t afraid of my teacher, I was afraid of my parents. ---

If it was wrong, I wasn’t afraid of my teacher, I was afraid of my parents. +1000 Parents are too busy now or don’t care, then they blame the teachers. It can’t be their fault they have no idea what their kids are doing, or if their kids are making it to school at all. The race card is a shitty card to pull here, it’s irrelevant if the student wants to learn and the parents take concern with how their kids are doing in school. ---

There are too many people in a position of power with children/neices/nephews/grandchildren in Clarence/Williamsville schools for this to ever fly. I don’t even have kids in the school district and I’d be livid. Not to mention the ramifications from allowing these kids in (ie - lower school ratings, lower graduation rates, etc) ---

Talking to some neighbors the jimmies have definitely been rustled in the burbs. There’s about as much chance of a new peace bridge being built by the time school starts as this happening in the Williamsville district. ---

I honestly don’t give a shit about Williamsville or have any implementation into any form of community projects or issues.
