In many of the poorest schools, the resources are used on food and security to offset the lack of food kids get at home and to keep them insulated from daily urban life while trying to learn.
I know you know this but you are trying to change behaviors of children whose families have been impoverished for 3-4 generations. It's unrealistic that things will change immediately. But IMO that doesn't mean you don't make an effort.
Once you get that one generation to go to college, you will change everything going forward.
Mate the resources we get these schools go beyond food and security. Beyond clothes and basic school supplies. We provide laptops, kindles iPads. Children have access to books, printers, after school programs that other wealthier children would pay hundreds a month for, all for free. We work with community drs to provide children eye glasses, dental care, medical care for parents who cant afford healthcare etc. Trust me, here in dallas I can confidently say school wise we've come close to eliminating the financial gap between poor schools and wealthy schools.
Problem is those parents and those homes. Parents who take no responsibility for raising their kids, and want to blame everyone else for it. Single moms who complain they don't have time to spend with their kids because their father walked out on them and she has to work two jobs and society should be understanding.
Never taking responsibility for getting pregnant and having a child when you weren't ready, or taking responsibility for letting the loser who walked out on them, f*** them in the first place.

It's natural for the offspring of bad parents to suffer for it.
It's why I try in live, give my offspring a better future.
Some cultures don't care about that (at all) and they pay for it. Regardless of which country they live in or what "system" they're affected by, you see the same pattern. A repulsion toward one's own offspring then the scapegoating of the public.

You're a pu$$y... a victim... and complainer... You'll never have a real discussion with anyone how all of your views are full of **** because you're a coward and a soft b*tch.
You need to wake up. Go get a job. Get off of your ****ing ass. Whining like a little girl in all of these posts, acting like you're "oppressed" or something.
Little f*ggot. Get off of your wifi and your brand new iPhone and go really be oppressed.
Better yet... get the **** out of this country if you don't like it.
