^ Jack and PT, you gotta look at where shit starts though... if you're told you're dumb and given all the shitty books and payed no attention by the "good" teachers at the school, who should be the ones helping the kids who need it the most, a 5-year-old mind isn't going to be able to consider all the things you're considering.

Also, as far as the Dead Prez song goes... to me its not as much about justifying kids not doing well, but pointing out the wrongs in the system, and the prejudices as far as what is taught and how it is taught.
