The best part about St George is the crying from liberals. They're crying and trying to change the laws because they don't have any control in this situation. And that's what they crave and need... control. They don't get to vote or influence the people in St George and it's driving them crazy.

The schools thing is and always has been a bullshite excuse for you-know-what, and we all know it.

Considering the bad schools in BR, likely scenario is “don’t learn shite because the other kids are acting out”, with a potential side of “get stabbed in a gang war” if things really go south.

I'm definitely not going to send my kid to a F rated school with a 52% graduation rate whether you call me racist or not.
The opposition to St George is all about BR not being able to steal as much money from this area as they are now.
There are black people in St George and there's nothing stopping more from moving there.

The problem is that if you do fix that system the number of students who fail classes, get suspended or expelled will skyrocket. Too many people will not raise their standards to succeed in better, stronger schools with more discipline and less tolerance of bad behavior.

Therefore, blaming schools for problems doesn’t make sense. At what point do people just admit that this is all happening because your average dad baw doesn’t want his daughter’s prom date to be a

If your kid goes to an f school with a 52% graduation rate, what happens to him?

Kids can regress to the mean if around other bad kids.
My special needs daughter, for example, developed some bad work habits after another kid in her class clued her into the fact that the school would pass kids regardless of grades, so they didn’t need to try their hardest.
It took work to get that out of her head and fix her work ethic.

The beautiful thing is no one gives a shite what you think and St George is going to be approved overwhelmingly. No one cares about feelings and perception anymore.

The class in question was an immersion class mixing regular kids and sped kids. From what she said, it seemed like one of the low achieving regular kids was the one who told her the sped kids didn’t have to actually do their work.
Still a bad habit that had to be broken.

People who claim someone is melting on a message board have an IQ below 90.

She likely gets a substandard education while being around a peer group where a large percentage of them don't give a shite.
That's like asking what would happen to me and my family if we moved to Mall City next week. My core values wouldn't change but I'd probably get robbed
