Responsibly, of course. But I think it goes far beyond schools, too. I don't think it helps that three out of four black youth grow up in a single parent household, either.

And does it work? Seems like we're the nation where most shooting happens. Yes, I know.. the culture. But I also feel it's lack of regulation. I don't know what happened in those two countries, but as far as I know you can still own guns there.

Rather than look at stricter gun controls as the answer, maybe we should ask why black Americans simply can't stop killing each other? Because in my opinion, there is no question that addressing the astronomically higher murder rate among black Americans is probably a lot more relevant as to addressing the issue of murder in the United States.

How much more is needed to satisfy you?

If you remove parenting from the equation (which is obviously the single biggest variable in determining a child's scholastic aptitude), the place to start is increasing the academic rigor in the cakewalk that is obtaining an education degree.

Yes, of course. I thought that was understood.

You'd probably be surprised.

I'd like to read your ideas.

I'm not that familiar with the American school system, so I can't really comment on that. From what i understand, education generally is too expensive, so chances are that the better off you or your family is, the better your education will be. Not good.
