How to save inner city schools.

His point was correct. Single mothers are the main cause of poverty and crime as well as poor academic performance. A child needs two parents to develop to the best of his ability. Want an example. Blakcs have 73% single mothers 53 % of homicide and poor academic performance and mean IQ 85.

Um... that was my point, not his

Yes, because the effects of single-parent families change so often.

Understanding of the complex causes of various social ills has changed since 1997.

Spell check is what it is. And not surprised this is all you got

Come on, that was funny!

Children from single-parent families are more likely to have behavioral problems because they tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents.
Abstract
The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline. According to a 1993 Metropolitan Life Survey, "Violence in America's Public Schools," 71 percent of teachers and 90 percent of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to the violence in schools. Sixty-one percent of elementary students and 76 percent of secondary children agree with this assessment.

Reductions in crime can mean more funds for education as well.

Also, reductions in crime mean costs to law-abiding people go down. Walmart has to price in all the shoplifting that lowlifes commit.

True. Many stores close because of it. The only large supermarket adjacent to our largest black neighborhood is on its third owner/franchisee in the past 20 years.

In DC, little Mom and Pop shops but up bars on the windows to prevent smash and grabs, but blacks called the action racist. So these little shops were forced to choose between allowing themselves to be robbed or closing up shop entirely. Most chose the latter.

Now we hear that nobody wants to open shops in black neighborhoods, and they call THAT racist.

Cant win.

Because the left can't face reality.
Black people act this way - ONLY - in America. They are not like this in any other western society.
Why? Because liberal social programs ruined their culture. You take - ANY - subgroup of people and give them no strings attached free shit - a large percentage of them are just going to depend on the free shit, drop out of a productive society and live to indulge in vices.
And that is exactly what they did - and still do.
Has nothing to do with them being black. Has everything to do with how liberals enslaved them to their handouts.

LBJ said he’d have the blacks voting Dem for 200 years.

You mean "social scientists" trying to justify their existence have complicated a very simple problem.

 

[Unkotare]

... a very simple problem.

Anything but.

Does it say how to fix the problem?

Anything but.

It's been simple for over a thousand years.

Only a simpleton needs to believe everything is simple..

And only a professional educator or “social scientist” needs to believe that things are complicated.

So, tell us the solution. No one has come up with one so far!

Complicated things are complicated no matter what simpletons need to believe.

 

[Woodznutz]

Complicated things are complicated no matter what simpletons need to believe.

Simple steps can often solve complicated problems. Simple problems are often unnecessarily complicated i.e. "Too many cooks spoil the broth".
