I grew up in the middle of nowhere. Schools were "good" by the standards of the US public education system (which is still shit). I had a "friend" (thought he was a friend, taco stole from me and turned out to be a complete piece of shit). He had a cousin from the LA area move in because her parents both ended up in jail for "something" (Never figured out why, probably running drugs or guns from what I found out later). She was 3 years behind in school and could not read or write when she was in the 12th grade... at 2 years older than you should be to be in the 12th grade. Basic communication was hard and she was not a "ESL" but was also a taco.. Just dumb as a fucking rock and unable and unwilling to learn. She is probably dead but based on age should not be.. Probably had popped out a half dozen kids before that happened too. Fucking pathetic. These are the people you are allowing yourself to be replaced by.
