I was born in the Richmond hospital, and graduated from Richmond union high school. It is considered the 6th most dangerous city in the country!

So maybe I know as much as you do about the inner city and dangerous streets! The schools were fine, it was my alcoholic father and environment that slowed me down. But another public school, contra costa community college that saved me. I paid for every dime of my 6 years of university education.

I didn't sit around and blame the public schools like some like to do. The second chance I got, I got busy!

I also taught in inner city schools!

Where did you go to public school? Did you attend an inner city public school? Have you walked into an inner city public school? Have you driven past one? Travelled within one mile of one? Or spoke to anyone who has? Well, you're speaking to one right now. If you want to learn something about a subject you apparently know nothing about, just ask.
