Is what's going on at Fulbright and Roberts the same thing that's going on at ML King and Gibbs?

Beware the person who speaks in sweeping generalizations about complex institutions.

"What needs to be acknowledged, however, is that school reform won’t fix everything. Though some poor students will succeed, others will fail. Demonizing teachers for the failures of poor students, and pretending that reforming the schools is all that is needed, as the reformers tend to do, is both misguided and counterproductive.

Over the long term, fixing our schools is going to involve a lot more than, well, just fixing our schools. In the short term, however, the reform movement could use something else: a dose of humility about what it can accomplish — and what it can’t."

I encourage folks to read works written about poverty by Ruby Payne.
