My wife is a pre-school teacher at an inner city school (her choice, she feels that's where she can make the most impact). Man her stories are rough. Not just the level of developmental problems (due to poor prenatal healthcare or perhaps drug/alcohol use while pregnant), not just behavioral problems from absentee parenting, but basic kids not being taken care of problems. Kids showing up to school in the same outfit for a week, clearly having never been bathed. Kids showing up in shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter, or in worn-out shoes 2 sizes to small for them. Kids who flat out tell her stuff like "I have to live with my uncle. I don't like my uncle. He's mean and there's no food there. He tells me school feeds me." And sometimes, you have kids who are well taken care of with parents who actually do care, but the parents themselves are uneducated or illiterate and don't really know how to help their kids at all when it comes to education. My wife's job is half being a social worker on the downlow (kids shows up in dead of winter without warm clothes? she gives him warm clothes. kid who isn't fed at home? sneaks him seconds at lunch, fills his backpack with snacks before a weekend. etc)

A dude who comes out of that environment and makes something of himself? Hell yeah.

That culture has some serious problems, and when those communities go under they don’t have the leadership to bring them out of it.
