Why is this inner city school successful?
Because it throws out the liberalism of public schools and society that make everyone fail.
No handouts
You don't get 20 chances before you get suspended.
No free busing, you have to take pride and responsibility for yourself and your child.
They take away the liberally-taught learned helplessness that comes with all the failed free handout social programs.
Here at MPS, kids pretty much do whatever they want, and they have been given the sense of empowerment that they should be given everything, do little to no work, and there is nothing wrong with that because no one should ever feel bad about themselves.
I keep writing about this because I wish that, for just 10 seconds, liberals understood how THEY cause and create a vast majority of the problems in failed inner city public schools and the inner city community in general.
Once again, an organization that is run in a conservative manner is successful.

As I have said in the past, this is not about conservative vs liberal. This is a cultural issue.
Instead of addressing/correcting this culture of incompetence, liberal politicians(especially the minority leaders) tend to support them for their own political survival.
I hope you aren’t holding your breath, waiting on Libs to admit their faults, or the cesspools they’ve created.
Of course it would make for good debate, if they’d actually admitted the total and complete failure of their ideas, and if they actually cared about the citizens of the inner city.
After all, what are a “few” ruined lives in the bigger scheme of things?
Libs have been living this philosophy for the last 5 decades; the mere fact that it still hasn’t worked means nothing!
I wish you luck my friend, you’ve a damn tough battle to fight!
Ditto to what Blamin said.
Duh! to what american said. Of course it's an issue of con vs lib. The issue is solutions. Solutions are aptly dubbed either one or the other for the philosophy behind them. The situation addressed by Game is a result of liberal solutions which are no solutions at all, but rather, gasoline on the fire.
blamin and Marshall art,
If liberal culture is the reason, how come the 'white' subrban areas don't have the same issues as these poor areas do?
If you have lived in CT, New Hampshire area - you know what I am talking about. It's a very liberal area.
What matters is the culture at home and the parents.
Well, I don't expect you to understand any of these because...your masters at 'talk radio' don't tell all these stuff, right?
Uh, garbage!
American...you make an okay point...and then you have to throw in the insults. I thought we were getting much better at actual debate (at times) and less emotional responses.
I don't need talk radio to tell me what is going on, I live it 40 plus hours a week.
You want to talk about CT, I'm talking about inner city youth and how liberalism affects them, and another story about how conservative principles in a school make it successful. Why don't you stick to that and explain why THIS school works, yet others that run liberally, free, free, free everything fail
American,
You asked: ”If liberal culture is the reason, how come the 'white' subrban areas don't have the same issues as these poor areas do?
If you have lived in CT, New Hampshire area - you know what I am talking about. It's a very liberal area.”
Because well off liberals don’t have to “live” the crap they support. They “know” in their heart what is best for others, especially the disadvantaged.
Wake up!
We’re talking about the corrosive effect of decades worth of liberal policies on the inner cities.
There was a time when even the poorest in the inner cities had a since of family and community, where the education of the children in a household was a very important, if not the most important duty of the household.
Why do you suppose that changed?
american made a big mistake. I lived in Seymour, West Haven, and Hamden in CT. I am an Honorary Citizen of Norwalk. American is trying to compare suburban NE to the inner city of Milwaukee. It is apples and oranges. Now, American, let't talk Hartford, Bridgeport, South Norwalk, and Stratford when we compare them to Milwaukee and what the game is complaining about. I can assure you that you don't want to go there. Oh, we can throw in the area of Stamford between the Metro North station and Long Island sound. I used to walk between the train and Pitney Bowes main plant. That area isn't Westport or Sheboygan.
The point made that it is cultural is right, but applying a check from the government is not the answer and never has been. Or do not know of the case in CT where a family like in the inner city was put in a newly remodeled home in the suburbs. All the normal welfare housing rules were waived for this family. Within a year they ruined the house and I believe some of the kids were caught dealing drugs.
No - I didn't make a 'big' mistake. I also lived in CT area. I also lived in California. I also lived in europe. So, I guess I know what I am talking about!
My point is...the lack of performance is a cultural thing. And, yes - there are liberal politicians exploiting it. That's sad. But it's much more than 'voting' for liberals. If 'free' stuff is going to lower the standards, you would have seen a HUGE issue with students in scandinavian countries. Everything is pretty much free out there!!
The issue with inner city is...they have NO role model! Absolutely not. Having lower standards has become a trend out there. Unless they (their leaders and parents) raise the standards, even god can't help them.
Game - as to your 'emotion' and 'insult' comments - I suggest you carefully read comments by others (Especially the 'blamin' guy) as well. In the past also, I have pointed out the 'name calling' and 'emotional' responses from others. Interestingly, I didn't see you giving them any suggestions.
Probably by you know what I respect the most - honesty!!
they have NO role model
correct
As for the comments, blamin keeps it under control..and he is not yelling at me so I don't really care.
If the conservatives here start getting as bad as hash and parklife I will talk to them about it...
American,
I regret you believe my comments are “over the top” (they sometimes are). Of course I could make the same argument, but instead of regressing to a “he said, she said” argument, allow me to address one of your main points in the current debate.
You said:
”The issue with inner city is...they have NO role model! Absolutely not. Having lower standards has become a trend out there. Unless they (their leaders and parents) raise the standards, even god can't help them.”
What you fail to acknowledge, and the point that so many have been trying (very patiently I might add) to make is that liberal policies are the very reason “they have NO role model”s.
No it’s not “American materialism”.
No it’s not stingey conservatives that don’t want to pay taxes.
No it’s not religious right wingers suppressing base desires and causing potential role models to mentally short circuit.
Yes it’s lib policies that corrode the self-esteem of family leaders.
Yes it’s lib policies that favor single parent households.
Yes it’s lib policies that ingrain a sense of entitlement.
If you see a second or third generation drug addict that believes he’s owed something by the government, thank a lib.
If you meet a single mother of four (with different fathers) who claims “I just can’t control my kids”, thank a lib.
If you meet a third generation family living in poverty, and eagerly awaiting the monthly check, hang your head in shame and thank a lib.
If you meet a child that refuses to do homework because it’s not cool, with no oversight from family, let your heart ache with the “waste of it all”, and thank a lib.
When you meet a beautiful 3 year old child from the inner city, that’s filled with the “wonder” of the world, and you realize he/she doesn’t stand a chance, go home and rave at the injustice of it all, then thank a lib.
Are you getting the picture?
Here comes the “emotion” and “insult” part… Clueless Putzzz! (that’s with a capital C and P!!!)
That is 100% correct, perfectly put...
Liberals can't and wont admit it, but facts are facts
American, I spent 6 years in CT and 6 in CA. Again, you did nothing to disprove that a government handout check is the answer to this problem.
pcd,
as usual - you don't read everything. How did you miss my reference to 'scandinavian countries'?
american, I dismissed them as this is Amierica, not Scandinavia. Who wants the Swedish taxation model, 101.1% of your income if you have a decent income.
You wandered from CT to Europe to try to support your poor argument. It was wrong and so are you.
