We HAVE to TALK about racism and police brutality

30. Yes, obviously involvement in a child's education is extremely important

But not every parent can do that.

Take a single mom. If she is working at the local walmart, she may need two jobs just to feed her child and self. The time she can allocate to her child is minimal. Especially if the jobs are during the day and evening hours.

Regardless, why should there be the disparity in education that exists? My boss has a son that attends public school. He's in an upper middle class area. The school offers all kinds of extras. My boss also is on the board of a charity that goes into schools and helps teach through art. All kinds of art. It's a fascinating, well run, successful charity that has been around for 2 decades now. When I asked my boss if that charity goes to his son's school his answer was, "no. (kid's school) has two teachers to a classroom, this art program that, sports program, etc" This is the same city. How can we have such separate schools? And they sure as hell aren't equal.

I am unsure as to the reason for your story about the two girls at your college. I find the "they didn't" socialize comment interesting. They kept to themselves or they were never included? And can you even see that?
