Fucking Racist

I've seen figures that fewer than 30% of boys in the inner city graduate high school (they're out robbing banks with their mom in some cases). Only about 80% of the girls graduate.

But this is only a smallpart of the story because what earns a diploma today was deplorable 100 years ago. Unless a child is self motivated (or who has parents who insist) he will not get an education comparable tothe past. College is little better really and you can buy a degree from the finest schools.

I'd be surprised if 3% of people today are getting as good an education as in the past and almost allof these individuals are in the top of their classes. Even among these few one gets the impression they missed a few critical days of school. I had a neurologist ask me how to spell aspergers. What was he doing that day? Home sick? How do you treat patients if you don't know the possible conditions. What was he planning do do, google it before my next appointment. I can use google.

We've had two generations from a failed educational system and we are going to pay a very heavy price for at least a couple generations. And this assumes we ever fix it.
