Charter schools get EQUAL resources, not EXTRA resources. One could argue they even get a bit less than equal. These children need extra. People keep confusing open competition and the free market being good with being perfect.
Now, if you mean that the charter school concept would help break the white-flight economic resegregation of our public school system that generates these at-risk schools to begin with, then maybe.

Look, @EMPIRE all I'm saying is..

I appreciate your work there, but when it comes to these topics.. you're off the mark.

In America, if you're poor.. you're likely black.
You can't separate the two.

So if you discuss one, you're being disingenuous to leave out the other.

As a white, european man.. You're naive of this, clearly.

You're too gullible if you going to suggest that "gentrification isn't about race".

It's called "white-flight" for a reason.
My highschool girlfriend's father moved his family to the country to avoid black people (me).

So just like you say not American should comment on the "whiteness" of Portugal.

Euro-zoners shouldn't comment on whether is divided by "class" rather than race.

I'm sorry, but those conclusions are pure emotional based off what you see in the MSM. If you can find me a study, a legitimate one, not one from Faux News or Huffington Post, that actually shows that a government safety net induces vagrant behavior, then I will believe you. Until then, I will stick with all the studies that show very clearly that social safety barriers do in fact work, and that the decades old gutting of the programs are wrecking havoc on the system. Not to mentioned the systematic desecration of the educational system that's been designed solely for "efficiency" and pumps out students that are over qualified, unhappy, massively in debt and lead to believe a lie in which they can never achieve, or the exact opposite and ditches those most in need yet are the most visually different.

Combine this with white flight, red lining, and a culture of fear mongering, race baiting and rapid communication and we have a perfect storm. The general population is so overrun with sad stories and empathy inducing situations they actually go into empathy shock - a state in which they cease to care and numb themselves so they don't have to make a decision. A decision which they may later feel bad about. Instead, it's "nothing I can do about it so I won't care." And yes, this happens with those "gang-bangers" you talk about.

Instead of solving the situation, which is a blatant and total discrepancy in incomes, social normality, and general empathy, we will continue to have this problem. So long as white flight occurs and the NYPD openly racially profiles and harasses 110% (no joke) of the black community, and so long as the Christian Right still chants "it's ok to profile brown people" both in NYC, Arizona and everywhere else we will continue to have this problem.

Ever hear of the Theory of Attitudes? Or Reactance? There is far more going on than "if we give them money they'll stop working." Because I'm pretty sure every Christmas when your parents (general assumption) gives you presents, you instantly stop working. Totally proven concept, eh?

This has been going on in certain cities of Orange County for some time now.

Class warfare never ended, white flight and rich Chinese and Middle Eastern U.S. citizens just keep leap frogging each other into new territory. Class warfare does not have a color boundary, only money.

No - the show was called 'White Fright' - but it covered the topic of 'white flight'

white flight, not fright. the narrator was slurring his words, so i can understand this error.

flight, as in moving away from an area with asians.
