Why do people say that this or that school/institution has failed our …. children?! Where does the responsibility rest? Plenty of minorities have succeeded in life: Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, John McWhorter, Roland Fryer. Do these individuals get the credit for their achievements or do we give it to their schools? There are even many more “average” individuals who just go onto have good lives and share their formula for average success with their children: graduate from HS or alternatively learn a marketable trade/skill, go to work even if you don’t get a job you like, don’t have children before you get married. That doesn’t require more taxes or “better” schools, just better actions by individuals.
