    "If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools and make excuses for their academic shortcomings and personal misbehavior. But please don't congratulate yourself on your compassion."

        parents are a fair excuse for their personal misbehavior... or the lack thereof

        Sooner or later, people have to accept responsibility for their own behavior and choices in life.

        Exactly what is happening here in South Africa. The minimum pass rate is already at 30%, with 0% for mathematics. Pathetic really.

        Standards can't mean much if people send their kids to school with no stable moral family background & no respect for adults and education. Too much blame goes to the schools instead of the clientele.

        Where I teach, standards are decently high, but the government, parents and students often make it difficult to achieve them- especially w/cuts in funding & lawsuits.
