Preach. In 5th grade last year, in an an extremely affluent elementary district, my kid had four or five kids with earmuffs in a class of about 22. They couldn't sit through 60 seconds of the end of year class presentation without beating themselves in the head, and having two TA's to keep them under sort of control.

Unpopular opinion, it's not public education. Department of Defense schools in the 80s were funded at about 30-40% of the average US school. Yet, because they parents, even e-dogs, were involved, they excelled, regardless of race. Show up on time. Do your homework. Respect your teachers (zing!)

Many, many, moms have wrecked their kids, and that's the cause. I don't want to get racial, but the Nigerians, Indians, and Chinese don't have these problems, but kids that aren't a part of that group suck more. Some more than others.
