The schools issue is addressed in a comment on the original article -- out of a school with 800 kids, a total of 12 parents showed up for teacher conferences. That's not a school problem nor is it a kid problem. That's a PARENT problem. Many fine black families live in Pine Bluff, but there is something wrong when families are disengaged from their kids' education like that.

Its an American problem. This country has developed a persistent underclass in which poverty is passed down from one generation to the next. The parents don't attend parent/teacher conferences because their parents didn't attend teacher/ parent conferences.

Until this country is ready to really end the underclass, it will persist and the Pine Bluffs of the country will continue to be steeped in poverty and crime.
