So what is more critical to a childs upbringing? Parents and role models or a better school system in the formative years? I can't help but wonder that teachers in the hoods have insurmountable odds of succeeding in turning it around for many of these kids..

A great movie 'Freedom Writers' on a true story about this exact issue. It was in LA. Nice to see it does work from time to time
