“If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a city to eliminate a bad culture and build a new one.”
It takes a family to raise a child, and many (if not most) of the Memphis City School children live in broken, single-parent families.
I am a graduate of the Memphis City (now Shelby County) school system.
The primary problems in Memphis are its gangs and the pervasiveness of cocaine, alcohol and meth addiction.
I feel very sorry for kids growing up in many areas of Memphis, because I believe that their dysfunctional family (and neighborhood) environments effectively doom them to a life of crime, poverty and addiction.

Didn’t you ever wonder how authoritarians talk to one another, when they think no Anglophones are listening?
Who sent hither this swarm of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance? Is this what you voted for?
Absent his state title, this man is a child molester.

I like the trust pays system. Kids that would not otherwise be concerned citizens now are rewarded with an average of 200 bucks a tip to thereby be concerned citizens. Reminds me of the tricks the NKVD used to get people to rat out non communists. I guess it must be justified because it obviously gets results.
Of course so did the NKVD. If the kids are not snitching on other students because they think it is the right thing to do; how does giving them money to snitch improve anything? It merely reinforces the beliefs that anything has a price. Talk about taking away the ‘value’ of doing something right out of principle.

Took my tear gas out of the briefcase when I went to a school meeting today. Forgot about the fixed blade knife in an inner pocket, though. Whoops. Fortunately it was a small private school, so no embarrassment at the metal detector.
