As the days and years go by, as we work with schools in this country that are part of the inner city, it has become clear that those areas where poverty is greatest are in the greatest need of help and are suffering from some of the poorest decisions made by those in charge. Buildings are in disrepair, supplies of all sorts are needed, people are squabbling, funding/finances are a mess, stability is lacking and more.
Yet, little seems to change. The cycle of constant reform, name calling, inaction, and general mayhem continues on and it simply blows my mind.
Right now CPS, and other inner city school districts, and the various constituent groups seem to be groping for the answers. Too often this leaves individual schools, the students and their families in the lurch. Pretty damn soon, the way things are going, the very fabric of neighborhood schools in inner cities will be torn apart for good.
