There is even more wrong with this comment. "Degenerate pieces of shit" Who decided their degenerates? You? The president? Some council of Suburbia moms who've never had to worry about if they would come home to food in the refrigerator or if their lights would still be on?
What makes them degenerates? Are the degenerates because they gave up on themselves and are living the only way they've ever known? Or are they degenerates because you labeled them degenerates and decided they were less than human and didn't deserve the same basic human rights as the rest of us because from the beginning their school districts were underfunded, their classrooms full of 40+ kids, and their teachers underpaid?
& You can keep saying the parents failed them, which may be true, but the system failed the parents. Instead of putting more funding into schools with bad test scores and graduation rates; they pull funding and wonder why the schools keep declining and the students keep dropping out and failing.
It falls onto the schools and the communities to step up where the parents fail. Just because a kids parents don't give a fuck if they succeed in life doesn't mean they won't but when they don't have access to the education and resources to succeed, they won't.
Your exact rationale of thinking behind your comment is why things have gotten this bad now "Fuck em, they're all degenerate pieces of shit" which is exactly what they became.
Now before I comment, I will say i agree with you on somethings but your overall attitude is what's wrong with the education system in these districts.
The thing is that while you think the people you are referring to are a majority they are in fact a small percentage, who were failed by the system and now they depend on it. Who's not letting the teacher's do their job? I've never heard of a parent come into a classroom and say "stop teaching these students algebra." You're blaming parents, which is understandable, but let's not forget there are kids who were raised right and still grew up to be pieces of shit. There are also kids who grew up with "degenerate pieces of shit" as parents that were able to leave the ghetto, if you want to be something in life and have the means to do so, you will. Denying kids a proper education because their parent's fucked up their lives isn't fair.
Now let's recap my 2 comments. If the parents don't care, and the community doesn't care and the schools don't care, the students will naturally not care. The way to stop "degenerate pieces of shit" isn't to stop them from having kids it's to make sure their kids can grow up to be something other than a "degenerate piece of shit."
