School System Still Sucks!!!!!!!!!

I think think that today, the school system is not as bad as the 1960's and 1970's. But it still sucks. Today, mainly all of the white students go to private, expensive schools that have the best education perhaps that money can buy. But the schools in the inner city is mainly made up of miniorities. There is actually a lot of misconceptions about both schools systems. From talking to my cousin, who goes to a school out in Natick, she says that she really wants to live out in Boston with me so that she could be around more people like herself (ie Black ppl). But her friend, who is also black was taught that all the inner city kids have bad education becaus of the lack of money provided in their schools and that inner city kids have bad attitudes and always fight. But a few of my own friends feel that kids in the Subarbs are snobby and stuck-up. I don't know what to believe except that honestly some inner city kids don't care about education (ie skipping school a lot, etc). Its sad to see all of these films in Facing History, showing how black ppl really fought for their kids to get the best education, yet years later, a few of these kids are not taking thier education seriously :(
