Some actually have babies, knowing the more - the more money, not necessarily "the merrier"......
Some excel in school, but a lot of them are considered outcasts, Brainiacs, Butt kissers etc... But when the diplomas are handed out, guess who's working and who's on the Government ticket??
No doubt. Some kids in some neighborhoods are pretty much a lost generation. Poverty tends to breed poverty, unless something or someone breaks the cycle.
But in what way is this related to what schools teach? BiL's original claim was (more or less) that schools didn't teach any American history any more, and that this somehow was Jimmy Carter's fault for creating a federal Department of Education. Which makes about as much sense as seeing "Marxists" under every bed.
