ORIGINAL: kdsub Mike... if you keep your children off the streets... if you report crime... if you vote and support your city and police forces... If you keep your children in school... THIS is the way you make changes for the betterment of your life and neighborhood. Simple and responsible... quit bitching at others when it is your own damn fault. Butch Even if those schools are nothing but gang affiliated cesspools of violence,and the very streets you walk to and fro are a mine field of gangs,drug dealers and prostitutes ? Quite a statement....let me ask you do you have kids ? If so ,did you raise then under such conditions ? Who's fault is that?...My schools are NOT cesspools of violence...why?... Because I will not allow it and neither will my neighbors... It is personal responsibility...one family at a time. Butch I don't think schools become cesspools of violence overnight. I think what happens is that the schools in the less affluent and disadvantaged areas are under such conditions which are more conducive to the triggers of violence. It's not the schools; it's the neighborhoods and communities they're in. The schools can't shield out whatever strife and violence is going on in the community around them, so the schools become a reflection of that. As for whose fault it is, that depends. If there's just one school or one district which is a cesspool of violence, then one can look to that particular district to try to find fault. If one discerns a recurring pattern in multiple districts and cities in different states and in completely different geographical areas, then it would seem to be more of a national-level problem in which finding fault may be more problematic. I agree that it's a personal responsibility, although when mentioning what I or you or what our neighbors won't allow, should we just stop at our own neighborhoods and not take responsibility on a national level? If we view all of America as one giant "neighborhood," then these cesspools of violence exist in our neighborhood, so why are we allowing it? Wouldn't it be "our" fault too?
