Jesus Christ, when did it become the school systems job to raise our children?
All this shyt starts and ends at home. That's it.

At least those single mothers are in they kids life, unlike the absent fathers
Sad. It all comes down to family structure and money. These kids don't even have a shot in many cases cuz their parents don't even have one and it's typically their fault. Parenting is a 2 person job and we got these clowns who think you can raise a child with one parent. Then they're uneducated, they can't even teach their children math.
People assume that if you add 2 parents in the home, these issues will automatically go away.
My mom grew up in a 2 parent household and still didn't do well in school. She said her mother (my grandmother) and her stepfather didn't pay attention to how she did in school nor did they try to help. Same thing with my grandfather, he had his own life with his new wife.
My mom was a single parent and she was very into my education even though she had to work 2-3 jobs. She put us in special programs for low income families and they had us visiting colleges, tutoring, taking community college classes while in middle school. That's why I turned out okay, it really just takes one parent paying attention, but if neither are, then the child is doomed.
When single mothers and deadbeat dads started thinking parenting was a 1 person job and started creating single parent households. When parents saw children as meal tickets and started having them to get more money from the government.

Nah, it's not that simple.
The quality of teachers has been watered down from like 30 years ago because it's just doesn't make sense financially to pursue a career in teaching if you are able to pursue a career in a more lucrative field.
But, there are still plenty of teachers still in it for the love, because it's what they've always wanted to do.
For those teachers, I feel sorry for them because for the most part, they aren't allowed to teach.
They have to spend 30 - 50 percent of instruction time correcting behaviors, and when they are allowed to teach, they have to teach to the SOLs instead of actually teaching the subject.
We've never allowed anything less than an 86% on anything. If you fall behind, don't ask for shyt, don't ask to go nowhere, and gimme that phone. Remove all distractions. If you dating someone who has low grades, y'all are no longer dating. We don't allow dummies in the bloodline, and if they can't have an intelligent conversation with you they are wasting your time.
This forces them to take their education seriously and demand that anyone that wants to be with them to do the same.

Blacks dont have this problem in Montgomery County, those so-called "cac" schools 
That's the problem.
It doesn't matter if there are 2 parents in the home if one or neither are invested.
But, if you grow up in a household that does have 2 committed parents, it makes all the difference.
I spent 10 years of my life working as a behavioral counselor, teaching kids how to act in school, and teaching parents how to parent their children.
During that 10 years, where I worked with hundreds of children, from at least 20 different schools, elementary, middle, and high school, I NEVER saw a child with 2 dedicated parents struggle at all in school, behaviorally or intellectually.

We really don't accept anything less than an A.
We don't fuss over B's but don't expect either of us to give you props for it.
"I got a 85 on my test, dad!!"
"And, nikka?
What stopped you from getting an A?"
And C's are a PROBLEM.
That's how it has to be when you're raising AA children in a world where they are competing with Africans, Indians, Asians, and White folks.
We gotta hold our children to mega high standards.
Wait, you use the Pythagorean theorem in your job?
fukk outta here.
