A startling number of children are falling through the cracks at one Chicago Public School. More than half of the kids didn't even pass the eighth grade.

It's a good story. As a teacher I can tell you 100% that other than the few students who truly just don't have the mental capacity to handle learning, the deciding factor in whether a student succeeds or not before high school is whether or not there is a parent that is paying attention.

Public schooling allows urban youth to express themselves freely, intelligently, and peacefully. See?

Did you see the one guy, his pants were falling off. In the neighborhoods where this style is prominent, I'd prefer pants that fit or at least are held up so when the bullets fly they won't cause my demise. Now I understand why people in L.A riot when the lakers win.

Love the rap video. If it was only this easy to understand.

Thank you for this, it was absolutely hilarious, and it is always refreshing to hear someone speak such proper English, particularly when done in parody of another who is incapable of doing so.
