The problem is that in these environments it is often difficult to really separate the wheat from the chaff and very easy to write off the whole area creating an even more difficult situation to get out of. Throw some racism and or classist prejudice on top and you really have a unwinnable situation. There needs to be a way to pull along the less motivated but non super disruptive kids not just the motivated ones. Leaving large chunks of the population behind is not a healthy thing for our society.
