I proportion/ratio, no, but in numbers, yes. Duquesne is a small district, so even if every kid coming in is an asshole, West Mifflin still has more because it’s a bigger place.

> To me the definition of an asshole in this case is some low life that thinks it is his/her purpose in life to cause trouble with, deal drugs, start fights, act disrespectful, steal, committing crimes …all while acting like the world owes them something. Now don’t take me as being ignorant and don’t think that there are kids everywhere that act like this. The point is percentage wise in areas like Duquesne, Hill Dist, Hazelwood, Allentown, ect there are A LOT more assholes.

> The thing is I have/had friends from both ends of the spectrum so I know all people from shitty neighborhoods are not assholes. But I also went a highschool that was full of assholes. I would tell some of my friends that went to “better” (safer) schools stories about some of the shit that I seen on a REGULAR basis like someone getting jumped for no reason at all, couple of fights per day sometimes, teacher getting beat in the head with a 3lb sledge hammer, teacher getting a battery thrown at his face by a student and needing stitches, ect, etc and they would laugh and say they never see shit like that at their schools. That is what I/we are getting at…yeah you can state reasons why these kids are assholes and how we need to fix the problem…BUT nobody want to have their kids around people like this for obvious reasons.

The above I understand and get where you’re coming from. Good points. I don’t believe, however, that kids in Duquesne all believe the world owes them anything. If anything, I think they believe the world is always taking away from them. And the stories about what kids will do to teachers… that happens everywhere. Being a former teacher and married to one, I’ve heard/seen it all. Some of the suburban schools are much better at covering it up, but some kids, especially since we started mainstreaming special needs kids (no child left behind and all that shit), are going to be that way regardless of how “good” the school is. I’ve heard of a parent telling a teacher friend that she “deserved it” after the guy’s kid threw a book at her for failing the kid. Guess what school? USC.
