  • Everyone is focused on fixing the school system, nobody is asking why we need a school system at all, kids could be engineers and scientists at 16 years old if they were allowed to choose what they they're interested in learning from a young age instead of being forced into a 12 year system that teaches nothing other than how to take standardized tests which has zero carry-over to the real world.

    People need to understand that the public school system is not about education, it's about money.

  • Poor niglets.

  • 75% of students not graduating from high school!!

  • I don't think you can shift all the blame on the educational system or the government. Schools are one side of the coin. The other side is the community where these kids live. You can have the best schools but the drug culture and fucked up communities (single parent households, neglectful/abusive parents etc) will draw the kids back in anyways.

  • @maddingo12 so true. that was wat i was thinking the entire time.

  • is this from the season 4 dvd?

  • Where the hell did you get that info? American universities are very good (like Harvard etc) But schools suck some serious ass. Especially state schools or how they call them...

  • i'm not advocating a call 4 communism but i don't think America can call itself the "Land of Opportunity" w/out supplying a basic tenet 2 its citizens. more money should be flooded 2 schools in need regardless of race 2 assure that every American child at least has the chance 4 success. give em the tools & then let true competition commence. Though sometimes i wonder if inequity among American schools isn't intentional.

  • We should set a maximum on class size and pay innercity teachers more. They have a tougher job and should be paid more than other teachers.

  • Dude are u fuking kidding me...Everyone deserves a chance to an education. U privatize education and white men will rule this country. We have to fix the system...How? well this video says how. Fuk teaching to a anglo cultured test...teach real shit....teach African-American history instead of white history....teach the life of Malcolm X while teaching about "I have a dream". U need to know ur history too did not write the com manifesto, it was Marx. This can create success.

  • Um, Stalin came to power in the early 20th century, not the 1800s. Dumbass.

  • Stalin authored the Communist manifesto?

  • @TubeGuest5178 I Didn't realize that Stalin wrote the manifesto before he was even born, lol. K

  • There's no such thing as free education and this is why it fails the public system. Public schools were made for one thing: to keep AMERICA at its knees. We can't even compete with 3rd world country students because the aim was to keep the majority of student dependent on the "system". Private school doesn't fare too much better either, but its a heck-of-a-lot better than public school. The system fails because the system was never legitimate to begin with. Education is not really free.

  • You condemn me for making generalizations, well I suggest you reread your original post. It's filled with them. Your premise of the deck being stacked against blacks is the type of victim mentality that has caused generation after generation of blacks to fail despite having ample opportunity to do otherwise. Your suggestion that I leave my room from time to time it's laughable how wrong you are about me. I've seen more of the world in person than you have in pictures.

  • its sad to know that society is set up for black kids to fail.

    they dont care about us. they just assume the guyz will be in jail and the girls will get pregnant.

    and unfortunatly that does happen allll the time. i swaer its like a never ending story.

    and its definiatly not our fault. they just dont care about us.all i know is i'm not gonna be a stereo type ima make something of myself i just wish we all had the same attitude and opportunities.....so sad :[

  • dis shows they don' care bout our black folks

  • no the worst dropout rate is in detroit. and its 75% for baltimore.

  • i wanna see wen dat gurl get cut up wit a razor blade

  • yup, thats really how the school system is in Baltimore, I got a lil cousien who failed like 3 times, and has been getting suspended and expeled since she started school, she's 16 still in middle school and dont care.

  • DAMN!

  • @girlzndahood  i went to Baltimore school for 3 years! and its true

  • Comparing races is fucking stupid. If you are white and young... befriend a black kid. become best friends... and then judge genetics. YOU WONT FIND SHIT! Our behaviors is 100% nurture.

  • sometimes i jus break down and cry when i see this mess. and i dont mean the show either...damn man we have got to do betta.

    fa real.

  • u don't seem to know sh!t about genetics... he was white, it's simple isn't it? i would rly like to explain it to you but there are terms that are rly hard to translate into english, well... live in oblivion and carry on that way...

  • those africans who lived in those huts didn't want to come to america they were forced to and when those white man came into their village with guns we still welcomed them with opened arms because they were taught not to jugde people by the color of their skin or how they looked then those white men betreyed them by shooting up the village killing everyone but young women and men

  • what are their names? philosphy? dumb thing srsly

  • I'm just stating the facts. Did black people stop Germans? Aw... right, whites used them to do so because they are more useful in kind of stuff like basketball, making music and drums... black inventor... let me see... 50 cent? lol, you see, I don't mean they are worse, just more talented in some other way, generally speaking ;)

    america really should stop believing in their politically correct bs, honestly, you want to be right in every detail that you can't really admit the truth

  • so how would you explain the fact that when the English came to Africa there was nothing but some huts made of poo and grass, no proper houses n stuff, the Europe at that time was much more advanced, give me one black inventor man...

    our education system is the best, not all blacks are gangsta, unable to find better job, just the majority, get over it

  • you are an idiot you fool

    the houses were like that because of the climate you idiot

    we did not need your roman style houses we were just fine with our houses

    ohhhh and during the mid-eaval perioid canty you see that you whites were shyttin all over the place......while timbuktu was flourishing

  • one black inventor? garret morgan the man who invented the stoplight.

  • "you don't teach math you teach the test"..that is soooooooooooooo real!! i went to a high school where most of the juniors and seniors HAD to be in at least two honors classes and one advanced placement class..but we didn't learn anything! we were "taught the test"..

  • I am from Nigeria, and over there they make education really important, in fact, its almost impossible to get a job unless you have at least a masters degree. Despite the fact that we have had oppressive leaders who have subdued us, education is still the only way out of poverty, and the parents push there kids a lot on that, despite the fact that our educational system is much tougher and brutal than here, people still go to school in droves.

  • yeah i have. Sevaral times used to live in da ghetto. I have cuzins in gangs. I go to da hood often.

  • yeah you go to the hood but you aint trapped there like most people.

  • Back in Miami I lived there once while I was at school my mom said swat surrounded our house thinking some Puerto Rican guy lived there. The show cops was going being filmed on da street behind us. And I lived in da hood where in da state I live now. Yeah but u rite I was never trapped there becuz after like a year we moved out.

  • How could it come this far,, all those politicians they dont give a damn man.

    Its not about being black or white, its about getting chances and investing in poeple.

  • i couldn't agree more, thank u for posting ur opinion. it really isn't a race thing. its about poverty, drugs, and crime. and i'm sick of politicians who are too busy saving their own asses and letting our kids suffer.

  • Completely agree

  • 75% of da students don't gradute high school. I need to transfer over there and I would get like every scholarship... And serious don't just blame da school. The parents should have done there damn job and made tha kidz study. And itz not a powerful show its just real stuff. Everyone acts like its made up and a powerful amazing show and stuff. ITs just reality outside the surburbz. One of the places in life some people have to deal with trying to stay above water u know.

  • What u know about it its not like u eva been in thea

  • uh, my mom came from hood like that and manage to go to college making straight Az and graduate with honors. And just look at Oprah. So yeah how many opportunities there are now if u don't become successful u can't blame no one but yourself. And yeah i have been there.

  • Nah you haven't you just said your mom was there and unless she had u when she was in High school then no cuz u said she got that college shit down you might have beent hea when you was a baby but you ain't been thea

  • what do u mean by been there?

  • in the streets the ghetto

  • u stupid bitch..it has nothinq to do with black or white..u sound really stupid sayinq that..u need to use your fuckinq brain!

  • so why is the crime rate among black people in the USA higher than among whites?

  • that's cause most black kids grow up poor and they have nothin'so they do what they have 2do if that means sellin' weed to feed their little sister or brother then i don't blame them most white kids not all grow up with money so aparently you are the one that has money and never experience poverty or being poor so don't prejudge us blacks 'cause you don't now our struggles this is to: matthemaggot

  • why do they grow up poor? why are the black people the majority among the poor ones? are they really unable to get over their poverty in some different way?

  • u racist prick

  • These Kids deserve better than this.

  • Their schools doens't have the money and the resources for kids to repeat grade levels if they fail them.

  • thats great.I like that they are makin a series like this.more kids and parents should pay attention to this because it would teach are younger youth to be more wiser and more educated then being into the negative process.
