re: LeBron James will open a public school in Akron for students at risk of being left behind

"As someone" who went to HS with hundreds of low-income students, all of whom were raised in gang-stricken, drug-induced neighborhoods, I find it appalling that you seem so against this. Plenty of times in my public HS did I see teachers not give two shits about "dumbasses" and "troublemakers." It only led them down a worse path not having much of a support-system in either direction.

Plenty of students that attend this school will flame-out, as should be expected, but many others will be in front of a faculty whose dedication is to move each student forward. They won't be ignored.
