Yes, I have a friend who's been teaching 8th grade English in a public inner-city school for over 30 years, where the overwhelming majority of the students don't speak English at home, and don't care to learn English in school. The stories she tells me are heartbreaking: her students have no ambition or interest in getting a good education or going to college as they find it's more lucrative to sell drugs and weapons on the streets (as their older relatives do). The parents of her students have zero interest in school or how their kids are behaving. The majority of them don't have a working phone (most just get disposable burner phones) nor email to even get in touch with them in case of an emergency. Yup. Just last year new trends started... Second graders who tell us what their parents tell them... Don't worry about doing well in school. You can always go on public assistance like we are now. FDR is spinning in his grave! Getting a new phone every month complete with a new number because... The bill came. Srsly. This is the most heartbreaking... Parents actually pushing their kids into traffic so three things could happen... 1: sue the unsuspecting driver into Oblivion. 2: start a GoFundMe. 3: both. |
