So let me get this straight: the students are dumber than sheep? And the system is completely broken? Again, I invite you to see the positive in the kids. No matter what, I know it's there (remember I also worked in a gang infested school district and in a correctional facility). I never met anyone who didn't have any potential. It can be a challenge, but isn't unlocking potential the point of doing what we do? How sad to have given up on that.

As for the system?....Well, yeah. It's F***ed.
