  • The cycle of low expectations and poverty certainly is sad. Some other things are certain, also: (1) By providing well-intended "help", it is surprisingly easy to actually prevent people from learning the skills necessary to help themselves long-term. (2) It would be insane to apply more of the "remedies" that have been applied so far. (3) Anyone with the where-with-all to leave Erie's schools would do so. A suggestion: Fine parents if their children under-perform in school.

  • Maybe, certain families, have for generations, lived off the system and would rather live in poverty without working, instead of working their way towards a tolerable living standard. If you think this video made me think- well it did. Lazy ass people want things for free.

  • Nice work! The reminder is important for all.  Hopefully we will make changes to help as we are able.
