[QUOTE="Blk04L, post: 16587382, member: 48574"] [USER=65746]@Machdup1[/USER] it is a perpetual cycle in cities like the example shown. The mom will spend the rest of her life working 3 jobs until she dies or physically can't work anymore and will probably end up in the street. The kids have zero positive role models as unfortunately I would guess there's no dad at home and the mom is gone all the time. They are probably at the poverty level or close to it. Gangs or similar level street organizations offer money and power to kids similar in age, and there's no reinforcing the benefits of staying in school and wanting to achieve good grades. I do however believe all 3 have different levels of blame, though. The mom unfortunately while trying to survive still saw that he was failing almost all his classes but still thought he would graduate? The kid for being distraught for not graduating but fully knowing he was failing classes/missing 272 days of classes? What did he expect would happen? And then the school for simply allowing him and others to go to the next grade with a sub 1.0 gpa... Sure, I agree some kids may not care about getting an A on a test when they don't know if they will get fed that day at home. It's going to be an endless cycle in cities like that where poverty and ignorance reign supreme and these kids aren't being raised in proper households and the schools just see them as cattle. The officials don't care as they got them right where they want them. always hanging onto them for help. There's probably so much corruption in that city where the officials get richer and the citizens stay poor. [/QUOTE]
