^. I make that point because too often Chicago and other major urban centers are accused of having "bad schools" or "failing schools" when in reality the schools are just fine. The communities they serve are what is failing. But when you use terms like "failing schools" it betrays the unfortunate viewpoint that predominates both within and without these communities, which is to point our fingers at teachers and principles to remedy the issue, something they in no way can possibly do.
