@PeterGartner You a hardcore drug dealer or something? Unless you are then you speak with 0 authority. Furthermore I sense you and I have a few disagreements about what makes a 'man'

Dukie is an example of the realities of living in these kind of socially broken areas. Some people say that it is up to you to get out of the projects and do better. But Dukie is obviously someone with lots of potential, the most out of all of his friends at least, and he ends up the worst at the end out of all four boys. Namond was a spoiled brat, and a jerk most of the time, and was handed a better opportunity at a better future. Poetic justice doesn't exist in real life- not always

"He's more nourished, wears fresher clothes, sometimes he even smells like soap."... and that's a bad thing because?

@wallyworld776 great to hear your inside perspective. but my question becomes as a teacher aren't you pretty irrelevant to the lives of the very students you're trying to "help"? agreed schools can't save all nor is it their responsibility. however, i still see social promotion as part of the problem. also agreed priorities start @ home but we've reached critical mass where those w/out "ideal" homes are suffering. i still believe schools, like other facets of society, can do more to help.
Dukie was such a good guy at heart, I hated to see him go down the path of a dope addict
