If they made the work as difficult as it is in whiter schools, it would be a 80% dropout rate.
How do you make students who are proud of killing rival gang members into students who aspire to educate themselves to hold an office job somewhere?
How many billions have been thrown into urban schools without results? In how many different schools in how many different cities? In how many different nations? The same results should tell people something.
