Do not blame the schools or teachers for a child's lack of learning. The fault lies with the parents who do not teach their children to value education and decide the school is responsible for raising the child when on school premises. I've known many people who did very well scholastically while in a inner city school because their family supported and nurtured the child's mind.
Any fault for a child's bad education is on the parent's and family's head, they are responsible for ensuring the child is properly motivated and has the needed tools to improve their lives. Stop hiding behind the victimization attitude and step up to become a volunteer tutor if you think the schools need help. Start some grassroot organizations to lobby your government officials or elect new ones that will do something about.
Either way, quit bitching and do something to organize from within the community to improve it. The reason for any city residents' needs being ignored by politicians is because they don't vote or organize to show they will respond.
