You are the exception, not the rule.
Like my Soror stated, it is NOT that inner-city students CAN'T learn, score well, graduate, go on to college, etc. However, reality and statistics show that the test passage and graduations rates are far lower in the inner-city than in the suburbs and the dropout rate is higher. Thus, this makes the job of inner-city teachers much more difficult, as they are dealing with all of these working against them.
