I don't know what it's like in the States but I live in a street with a high presence of public housing which seems synonymous with housing for junkies and dealers. Those with kids just don't give a **** about their kids getting any sort of future. They never send them to school unless they are forced to meet requirements for some sort of official scrutiny and then as soon as the pressure's off the kids are back out of school. I know resources are pretty scarce in the welfare sector but I really think the focus needs to be on kids getting the help they won't get from their wasted parents.
