And no, I am not comfortable with your answer "that the school that she goes to caters to this 'clientele' "cardboard answer that you gave.
Fact is, you don't know anything about Baltimore public schools beyond what you read...
Fact is, you don't know anything about the girl and the teacher based on what you saw on the video....
I mean you made the stereotypical statement that you can't garnish a welfare check right?
Now....pay attention, the other little school incidents that we have posted on, you barely made comments on ,short of your quote from Cicero ( very profound I must say) but yet here...it's judgemental?
I am so very curious as to what you think about the income levels and environments of the other school aged kids that we all have talked about these past few weeks and if your observations about that match what your assumption is here.
makes me wonder.....what if......?

There's a 44% chance the kid qualifies for reduced school lunch. She's in a school which is a hotbed of violence. Her parents haven't made an effort to put her in any of Baltimore's alternative schools. My assumption is based on probabilities. I've never implied otherwise.
I'm sure many of the other kids in recent months have come from similar backgrounds. Perhaps not.
My knowledge about the Baltimore school systems is based upon what I read -- this particular school's test scores don't paint a pretty picture.
