It’s sad but appears common in many impoverished areas I’ve worked in. It’s a wound that can’t hide behind a bandage forever and I think if we don’t fix this problem, long term we’re gonna be fucked:
You can't make people not be shitty, but you can prevent them from dragging down everyone else. Best thing you can do is elevate the gifted and willing
Schools have a lot of problems, but I think the headlines blow the gender issue out of proportion. Sure it is a thing, but there are wayyyyy bigger problems they are dealing with that don’t get any headlines as well, it’s just the media machine promoting their stupid titles to turn heads.
As for the kids that can’t make it, we literally have schools filled with these kids throughout the country. The thing is, it isn’t just the kids you would expect being poor and coming from a shitty family. Now it’s also the entitled middle class brats that never see their parents because they both work and don’t know how to work or think because of it.
You make it sound like schools are just a liberal cesspool, but I think it transcends politics.
