Education is a big topic. We all see reports that our students are falling behind kids across the globe. We all hear the publics schools are lacking, but the taboo topic of where the failing schools are located can be discusses. Conservatives rail against public schools and liberal says we need more money towards it. Both are wrong. There is an underlining issue that people don't want to face. Public schools in the predominately white suburbs do fine (in fact they easily out rank their Private School counter-parts) but the inner city ones fail (and fall well well behind their private school counter parts).
Look at the top 50 highschools in IL. Other than the top 6 (which are PUBLICLY funded selective Chicago university - basically the top Charter schools in the State) the rest are PUBLIC schools with no private school inching in. None are located in the city and the ones in the top 50 have a white and asian dominated populous.

The liberal will see this and say it's funding and class size (or deflect and call me a racist). However, the chicago city schools have much of the same resources, if not more than suburb schools. Chicago schools have libraries, computer labs, like sized classroom (actually smaller class sizes in many cases due to negotiations with the Chicago Teachers Union), sports and music programs and after school services. The liberal lie is that these schools are under-funded when in nearly all cases they get as much funds as the suburb schools.
However, these schools made up of predominately black and hispanic students fail and fail miserably.
Again the liberal will still say it's funding or the white man holding them down. Racists will state it's the black or hispanic intelligence inferiority.
I KNOW it's not funding and I don't think it has to do with lower intelligence of the race. Rather I think it has to deal with the uncivilized community that makes up the black inner city culture. 75% of black families are to a single mother, which no father in sight. Yes not all these children are doomed to fail, but in the black community the vast majority are. Blacks are way to quick to violence. Not necessarily against whites, but to each other. Even the slightest look can get black youth of today shooting at each other. It's insanity. The black community as a whole needs to realize it's not the white man's fault, but rather their own fault. They can only solve it on their own, but their inability to solve it, is shinking the country as a whole.
Hispanics problem is different. They come here and many don't even attempt to learn the language, so they can't assist their children with their school work. Many of the children don't learn the language to much later in life. They are stuck in English as a second language, which has been an utter failure of a program.
Like it or not race is a HUGE part of the issue in the failings for our schools. I remember hearing when I was in my suburban highschool that a good chunk of the kids in IL highschools couldn't read, couldn't pick out the IL on the map and didn't know who we fought in WW II. However, I didn't know any kids in my highschool who couldn't read, couldn't pick IL out on the map or didn't know we fought the NAZIs and Japanese in WW II.
If you took the inner city schools of primarily black and hispanic kids out of our educational rankings, then we would rank at or close to the in the world rankings for education. France is seeing a similar world ranking decline for similiar reasons!
