Multigenerational poverty is a tough thing to break out of, for kids of all races. If you don't know and don't interact with anyone who has ever been successful in school, you'll probably not enter Kindergarten expecting to succeed, much less high school. We can raise standards all we want, but until we address the problem of how to reach kids whom *nobody* expects to succeed, they'll fail to live up to any standards that we set for them.

The word still needs janitors. If their parents don't care about their future, why should I?
