As long as my taxes are paying your salary, you&#039;ll just have to grow a pair. 
After all, you just commented, &quot;There is blame to go around...&quot;
I was educated on probably 1/10th the money thrown at Leon County skrewels. And I graduated in the top 1/2% of my senior class of over 600. 
(Not in Leon County, of course.)

And I even learned two foreign languages.

Neither of which was Ebonic.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is blame to go around - as well as commendation. I teach in a Title 1 school in LCS, and we work hard on our end to hold up the team. Much like football, there are natural divisions of responsibilities within the team: offense, defense, special teams. In education, it can be parents, school faculty, and students. Each part of the team has a role to play, and if any one area is weak, then failure will happen and increase. When each part works together, success can be accomplished. 

Poverty doesn&#039;t follow successful people as a norm. Selfishness, arrogant pride, ignorance, laziness and drama do typically surround impoverished people. Owning up (confessing) these ills is a great starting point for those who should be leading - but not to be worn as a garland of shame, but as a reminder that a better life can be had by both the parents and the children. Parents may have to put off some behaviors and adopt healthier ones, students may need boundaries and accountability to expectations, and schools may need staff that understand the uphill climb.

Overall, a drastic change in culture is often needed. Success starts at home, where values (or the lack thereof) are instilled. As a teacher, sometimes we&#039;re faced with creating a dichotomy for our students (when you&#039;re here at school, these are the expectations), and this scenario does not play well with a unified, &quot;team&quot; mindset among parents, students and faculty. However, it is a strategy that is sometimes necessary to employ to help our students grow academically and mature mentally. We sometimes have to highlight the fact that &quot;yeah, life sucks right now, but if you learn what you need to know, you can have chance to make a difference for yourself - and others&quot;. This development of perseverance and resilience is vital to success.

These are just some thoughts on the matter. There isn&#039;t a perfect system, but there are definitely options, strategies, and simply truths that should be examined and used as tools for moving forward.]]></description>

Isn&#039;t misappropriation of federal funding a violation of the law? If true, would Rocky Hanna face prosecution? I&#039;m sure the Fake Newsocrat&#039;s investigative team will get right on it, lol!
And Cogent&#039;s comment below is spot on. Terrible parents are the biggest part of the problem. Money is the smallest part. It&#039;s not my job as a taxpayer to raise your kids!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I suppose that it is just a matter of time that we will hear that the problem(s) is/are attributable to money, or the lack thereof. The &quot;poor little me&quot; whine of &quot;aer&quot; comes closest so far. No, it is not money; no, it is not a &quot;history of racism.&quot; It is the failure and refusal of the parents of these kids to fully involve themselves in creating functional, self-supporting adults-to-be. It is the inculcation of the &quot;woe-is-me&quot; and victim mentality by the parent(s)--perhaps the same mentalities with which they were raised. Generations are intended to advance--rationale people want their children to be better and to perform better than they did. There are those, however, in this community (a favorite word of many of them-CO-MUNE-IH-TEE as it is often pronounced), and elsewhere, who think that other people should pick up the slack, financial and otherwise, and whine if they don&#039;t get the handout or subsidy they think they deserve. Largely, folks, it is your own fault. Many people have risen from modest beginnings to solid lives and have taught their children accordingly. Why not you? And the &quot;leaders&quot; (although I use the term advisedly) whom you support, like Mr. Hanna, and the teachers&#039; union bosses are not on your side if your goal is to raise productive adults. There are producers of value and people who just take it. Decide which you want your child to be and run your home and your life accordingly so that he/she has someone worthy to model. Don&#039;t vote for crooks or for people so blinded by their own goals and sense of importance that it is all they see. Overall, this is not hard to figure out. If you can&#039;t, or choose not to, you are a big part of the problem and no part of the solution, so just be quiet. You&#039;ve done enough harm to everybody, your child included.]]></description>
