Until someone can show me that per student funding is down from the 1930's and that is the cause I am going with lazy entitled kids.
The best evidence of that is that the children of first gen immigrants domminate school. They have access to the same schooling however out perfrom there white counterparts. Western culture does not place the same expectation on students as Indian or Asian cultures do. Why is it that the children of first gen immigrants are able to outperform the average students. This isnt a funding issue, and isnt a lazy kids issue. It is a parenting and expectations issue.
