It is easy to say “fix the urban culture”. The real question is how? I doubt you are going to reform the parents. The best bet is to make the schools a safe haven with discipline. Providing good role models and a good education is the best bet for changing the culture of the next generation.One big problem is in Illinois we have a public pension system that is simply affordable and it is unlikely the public will pay for that and increased taxes to equally fund schools. They way it looks the unions are going to keep pushing until pension systems go bankrupt and a lot of public employees are out of a job.
