..... Why is it the toughest path? Why are “urban” kids the toughest to educate? ...
Kids in urban districts very often face obstacles and perils outside (and inside at times) the school that can deeply affect their well-being and their ability to learn.
Many kids living in difficult conditions struggle with poverty, hunger, and very often histories (or presents) of violence and/or abuse. Some kids have to navigate their way through school so they don't run into the dealers, and navigate their way home through various gang-infested areas of the city. When they get home, what parents or guardians there are may be out all day and night working to try and keep the family going. The students themselves often work long and hard to earn money for the family as well. Some work full-time hours on overnight shifts and THEN go to school.
Put all this (and much, much more) together and you have a situation where it is difficult to succeed academically, socially, or economically.
And that's just a speck of what's involved.

So what I'm saying is take tenequa aside and say look t, don't make the same mistake your parents made. I mean really stress this to these children and offer the girls iud's. The reason i pick iud's is because they are safe and effective. Much more than the pill.
So I'm talking about ending the cycle of poverty. Can you honestly say a high school senior in the hood is ready or capable to raise a family?
I use harsh examples so you get it. I don't have a dog because I'm not around enough plus I don't want the vet bills. How come I know not to get a dog but too many young women in the hood don't know not to get pregnant?
It seems like you want to ignore the mistakes they've made in their lives. Well maybe they need Ben Carson's tough love advice.
It is what it is. Now let's try and do everything we can to stop the next generation from making the same mistake their mothers did.
You act like a woman who wears an IUD is murdering all the kids she won't have until she is emotionally and financially ready.
In 40 years when there is a school full of kids who's parents shouldn't have had them, who's fault is that? Can't afford kids, don't have them
