where did you go to school?
I think a big problem lies at home. i went to 64, 67, 56, then city honors. in the younger years, it seems a lot of kids just didn’t care. it wasn’t a priority. It was mostly social. i think their homes fostered an environment that didnt really enforce scholastic solidarity at a young age, hence the kid falls drastically behind.
the problem isn’t JUST throw money at the schools. yes, they are severely underfunded. some teachers dont care about their job if they get paid poorly.
i didnt read this thread, i will. just throwing something out there
