From Slate.com:

Why do poor kids have more trouble in school? Is it due to environment or biology?

The answer, according to a new study, may be both.

    You know something…ASS…you people who come up with these topics are really showing how much you lov to see the black community attack itself and tear itself apart…seriously…

    Even though i have to lower my OWN education level just to breathe the same air as the dickheads who write these bulls**t, I’ll respond to this sorry ass topic…

    Poverty means NOTHING when it comes to whether or not a gets educated, or said child has the ability to learn, OR stay out of trouble. THAT area all falls on the shoulder of their parents. Now if their parents are some real dumb f**ks (which way too many ARE in my community), then yeah, the child WILL get into trouble a lot; the child WON’T be willing to learn anything outside of ghetto bulls**t; the child WON’T have the same opportunities that kids with good parents, or even HALF WAY GOOD parents might have.

    It’s not a financial issue, you f**king moron. And it damn sure isn’t a black issue…but since this is BLACK PLANET, I’ll keep it where it is….

    if parents in my community are more interested in their next rolled blunt, and the las “s**t that 50 said”, then yeah….those kids are more than likely gonna come out F**KED UP…but that’s not ALL children. Because the ones that Pac perfectly labled as “roses that grow from concrete” fly under the radar all the time. So these so called STUDIES are flawed as all s**t…because they’re not even TRYING to look at the full spectrum…only the bad cases. I mean, there are TONS of children out there who come from really, REALLY f**ked up households, but you never end up hearing about them winning spelling bees, winning awards in math and science, being the ehad of the student body, etc…

    I don’t even have to SAY anymore, because even an IDIOT can see what you butt f**ks who post these threads are trying to do now….

    I mean, seriously….you are doing nothing more than ADDING to what’s bringing down my community by posting threads about what rapper is boning who, and how much money some hip hop clown has, and how relevant such and such in the rap world is now after a long hiatus (screw spelling)….I have never ONCE seen any of you dickheads post a thread about the good things OUR CHILDREN have done…the children in the projects who are damn near BEGGING to learn: the ones whose eyes, faces, and minds light up when someone brings something to their attention OTHER THAN the hottest booty dance in a f**king club. Try talking about THAT instead of bringing my community down further than we’ve already put ourselves….

    ASSHOLE!!

    [...] RELATED: OPINION: Does The Stress Of Poverty Stunt Poor Kids’ Brains? [...]

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/gren1shaw2/ gren1shaw2

    [Said to me by "kick462back"]Being the 1 out of the 6 living in priverty, stress not only stunt the brains of children… But also stunt the growth of the parents. Because of the reduced free food program for the public school system did me and my family the survival of everyday living. I even volunteered before going to work in order to have at least one meal for the day. I am grateful that in the daycare program I worked with I was able to eat lunch with the children. When I volunteered to clean-up, I was able to take the left-overs home so that me and my children would have dinner. Yes, I was on the food stamp program, but it was not enough to feed a family of (5) three healthy meals a day. The medcaid program was helpful, but it did not clothed and supply enough income for a decent means of a comfortable living. I am grateful for the Salvation Army stores, which made it able to buy used clothing, boots, coats, hats, scraves, groves, and other necessalities in order to attend school. Education, Children, and Proverty supersedes Reading, writing, and Arithmetic. Living under/in the stress of proverity not only stunts poor kids brains, but it also stunts the physical growth. My children were small for their ages, but I can say they were warm.
