[te5041]

@bloodinez OMG

[MrDjSeamless325]

damn miss murphy is sexy

[SomaliNewOrleans]

this documentary is bullshit, i still go to this school till this day. and that principle aint even there now, we got another principle mr jones.. The school is alot better then this. and it aint even the worst school. they just couldnt get Alcee Fortier High and warren easton to film in because those schools are big and wouldnt alow this bulshit filming to take place in their school and to bring down the reputation.

[goonie50]

this is a big deal to me. i went to new orleans public middle schools and they are worst because this is the staging point where they wont to pursue a career in high school or not. so high schools dont get the killers that i had in middle school. the teacher would gamble with other teachers in front the class and ask us do we want to work or not so she can go home

[eupt1]

After living in St. Bernard Parish almost my entire life, I never knew that this was going on just a few miles away. I am certainly blessed and I pray for all of the NOLA schools everyday.

[Lovelypersonality]

Watching the whole documentary really makes me wanna hurry and finish school, and I plan on working in the recovery district.

[aquafishsoup]

haha sue nature it'll surely remind you it's power

[SteamValidateUserID]

How can they expect to have decent education, when the teachers are on a such a low level. The blonde english teacher is a retard. She speaks as if she is 13 year old spoiled teenager.

The black teacher was good though.

[iraqidolphin]

It is her first year of teaching. She chooses to work in a city where that does not draw teachers. Give her a chance.

[madilov11]

at lest shes doing something for those kids. who the fuck are you to judge? yore probly just sittin there on your ass all day doing nuttin. have you ben there? did you see how hard life is there? not many people would go there but she did and maybe shes acting in a way that will help the kids relate and open up to her. cant believe the ignorance in this world. you suck. and all the people that gave you a thumb up are just as ignorant.

[blufkin25]

madilov11 - agree 100%

[killerwill55]

stupid niggers

[RaySzulc]

Yeah you know why is it whenever there's an overwhelming black population in a school or community the major topics are guns, drugs, violence all the time, and everywhere. It's not a coincidence, and you can't blame it on racism or some other shit all the time. Most I find are simply ignorant/arrogant in their nature. And they just bring themselves down. Fuck it, everybody has problems. You know?

[SomaliNewOrleans]

@RaySzulc Shut ur racist bitch. fucken redneck need head bust open. and we in N.O. are Leading in cracking your old racist rednecks.

Who is running N.O. schools? public schools? city? State of lousiana? exactly white people. So we can point fingers at them for building a city below sea level on the coast, not funding schools, denying transport/food/shelters during katrina. Destroying resident houses etc...

can name so many more..

[RaySzulc]

@SomaliNewOrleans I guess you really didn't learn how to write correct sentences at school. But I understand your point. But honestly I don't think anybody deserves to be put in that situation, or ignored by their own country the way N.O. was. When all is said and done, the strength of the community decides a person's fate in such a catastrophe. Funny thing that comes to mind is we have a Canadian rock group that wrote a song called "New Orleans is sinking" 15 years before it happened. WTF!

[SomaliNewOrleans]

@RaySzulc Thank you for understanding, I was trying to make a point that is not just us black fault the problem in N.O. is actually the Governors of the city and state.

And by the way I can write a sentence. This is just Youtube, so I'm not really going to write in my best, I mean its not a quiz or a test or something.

[kindwolf1]

u.s.a has so big problems. Maybe it´s a to big country?

But i love the dance at 1:42 X)

[wonderfulskirt]

"violence, early parenthood, poverty can pose overwhelming challenges". woow! guess what, millions live like this in africa, middle east, south america and asia.

[darkflighter100]

The only difference between those countries you just listed and the West is that it is preventable here. We have a high quality of life here in the US and Canada

[RoshDanvari]

then get out of africa...move to canada

[wonderfulskirt]

whats wrong with yanks? even a hurricane wont calm them down from killing each other?

[Deadlytrick]

Racist people are the stupidest people of all.

[Cupchun]

fucking mexicans eat my shit, (blacks, whites, and asians are better than you mexican beaner wetbacks!)

[verycoldice2]

blablabla they will just start to shoot anyways

[xxbethieboo1xx]

he means that there is a difference between black people and niggers...so he probably doesnt have a problem with black people...just niggers

[Fenderrocker34]

well.....what's the difference?

[JustBlowItUp8192]

meh rebuild it to somethin better

[kickthebass]

fucking NIGGERS.

[kickthebass]

btw, i dont have anything against black ppl.

[darkflighter100]

What?

[sunnymur20]

Yeah! lol!!

[Fenderrocker34]

fuck you, racist piece of shit......

[kickthebass]

i said i dont have anything against black ppl, you retarded monkey.

[Fenderrocker34]

ok, so if you dont have anything against black people, why would you put a comment like that one down below???

[kickthebass]

why not? i like to see stupid people like you respond. i fucking HATE cracker honkeys.

[verycoldice2]

32 our of 66 graduated, which means 32 got at least 60% in their report cards. Sad, sad. or are they just stupid?

[illbeyourmirror2]

man that blonde teacher is fucking retarded.

[RX102007]

Racists ppl are nt educated.

[omid11]

are you guys sure the yeti is qualified to be a principal?

[rawritzlinduh]

The principal of that school is amazing. It's so nice to see educators who are so dedicated and willing to spend in time helping teens succeed in life.

[anmoose]

Every one of the people involved in trying to rebuild that school, AND the students fighting to learn and graduate, should be given medals. The odds they're fighting are impossible, but they're winning purely because they have the raw guts to not give up.

Bless them all!!

Moosie

[spartan22222]

too many niggers...

thats the problem =/

[poorperson]

lmao

[anmoose]

Too many bigots and racists is a far worse problem.

[linfinster]

Most students can't afford pens, pencils and paper?? How about NOT buying those designer jeans or sneakers ...

[babyduck198718]

true but most is donated.

[PrescriptionDeath]

XMFD not even half of the seniors graduated, fucking sad.

32 of 66, XD

[neeger987]

well its a start...give them time and think positive :D

[moomilkboy]

wow that white teacher stood way out in all those black kids

[LuiBabe56982]

how is katrina? i havnt heard alot about that now-days....

[illbeyourmirror2]

Katrina was the hurricane....so...its gone

[illbeyourmirror2]

katrina was the hurricane...so...its gone

[LuiBabe56982]

yeah but..like how is the rebuilding going

[kyle7412]

of course its gonna be a shit hole everyone is black

[CO2Junkie]

kyle7412: Well... fuck you too :D

[mastakow1]

YAY! everyone wins!

[Suavelistic]

I agree not because black kids can't progress but because urban schools are often looked down upon and parents aren't as involved as much as white schools pass sports and dumb shit such as fighting with each other.

[anmoose]

Another big part of the problem they face is people like kyle7412.

[mmdghr]

i hope miss murphy is packen heat !!!!!!

[flightdeck11]

i feel bad for those kids and the blonde lady is fine!!!

[AgnieszkaD1990]

They are doing really fine despite the opposite of fate. Congratulations on such a great job that many students did!

[logankavalar]

MMMM miss murphey

[itskevin23]

three words that describe these kids - sacks of shit

[YouKnowWho64]

what u say?

[SplendidDissenter]

high school is bullshit. doesn't make you an adult

[codexbiohazard]

Holy crap, wish the Kids the best and teachers.

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

holy shit the blonde teacher is fine!!!

She must be one of those white ladies that goes for Alabama Black Snake

lmao

[itskevin23]

[CO2Junkie]

C'mon now, you know you & your mother have taken some Alabama black snake.

[undertake782]

That's sad.

[cdltpx]

We live in Ascension parish I10x177 since the storm we have had unprecedented growth every street you go down there is subdivisions being built on either side it is that way today. We have schools being built many other benefits but one thing hasn't changed the roads are almost identical we need turning lanes at every intersection rush hour is getting worse and worse as each new family moves here what will occur should there be a chemical release or storm, evacuation would be impossible.

[Trav1sP]

when do you think that they will notice they need work on the roads?

[cdltpx]

You know how it goes they need the tax base to build the roads pre-population explosion the tax base was too low to justify a bond issue and now we have all the subdivisions that will be seriously gridlocked when they begin building the roads lets hope they do the work on a 24/7 schedule to get it done quick. Hopefully they will choose a section at a time and not have roads ripped up NSEW of my home.

[JamaicanFrenchFries]

That room they had their graduation in.. reminds me of that room in the movie Lean on me (Y)(Y)

but yeah... intense.

[funnybanana]

the principal and the rest of the teachers are doing a good job helping these teens :3

[rogermoore27]

I feel bad for the the kids of New Orleans. This looks like a story that would be more believable in another empoverished country, not the U.S.. The problem is that people believe that adulthood comes via a graduation from a school. That is not all that is required. It takes time to learn to be an adult. It doesnt happen at age 18 on our birthday. That's why many of us feel very intimidated at that time but we dont say anything. Our own parents are setting us up for failure or hardships in life

[Bobofet241]

I thought the very same thing where is their Government when they need them?For all the taxes their Gov.took before the disaster WHERE IS THE HELP FROM THEIR OWN U.S GOVERNMENT?

[pitviper12345]

how sad

[ccaptorchen]

where is the bail out for them? or do they need to be bankers to qualified for financial aid?

[Artificialkel]

Super.

[Nymphetamine066]

damn... that school is a mess.

[vitorshaolin]

so sad

[ponypall888]

Oh wow! How cool!
