> [@JoesTypeS](#): > > Race IMO really has nothing to do with it or little compared to economic status. It’s just that in a lot of urban areas the majority of the lower economic class are black or hispanic. Agreed, race has nothing to do with a person’s ability to learn. The problem is with today’s PC world, you can’t say an economic class of people and their lack of values is the problem if the majority of said class is of one ethnic background. As soon as you try to say that someone will play the race card and then nothing good comes out of the discussion. Where we differ is that I think you think giving the poor schools more money will solve the problem, because you think it’s a “rich vs poor” thing. I’m on the side of the fence that says no amount of money will fix the problem without first addressing the core values. This isn’t a Hollywood movie where “super teacher” can suddenly take a class of gang bangers and show them what they’ve been taught since birth was wrong and that the right path in life is through the pursuit of knowledge, not hoes and bling. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/public-education-system/13602)._
