Rooftop Revelations: Parents must say 'no more excuses' when it comes to educating their kids
Fox News
On Day 68 of his rooftop vigil, Pastor Corey Brooks urges parents to take responsibility over their kids' education.
In an earlier Rooftop Revelation, I spoke about the need to have school choice. And I spoke about an elementary school that is only two blocks away from where I sit. Only 6% of the kids at the school are proficient in reading, and only 4% of the kids are proficient in math. This is simply outrageous and mind-boggling. While I believe that school choice is the key to free up our kids to attend better schools of their choice in the city, I cannot ignore the issue of parents.
In many ways, we have become a nation of excuses. We say this person cannot do such and such because of — you-fill-in-the-blank — excuses. Now, I'm not saying this to be mean or judgmental. I'm talking from the world of reality.
