i agree wtih you on the part that yes, there are really reallly realllly smart kids out there, but its not the same..

Perfect example, my senior year of highschool, afte rfinishing my first semester, the freshman of my highschool, a total of 76%(around 300 kids) failed 1 or more classes. I just kept noticing, and i also talked about this with my principle cuase ive known her since i was like 3, and she too said the numbers prove it. Every year they have had a decline in average grades and test scores. occasionally a year will come along with a smart group of kids that bump up the class stats, but overall, the school was getting dumber. Now this may be an isolated incident(i hope so) at just my highschool, but its very possible that its happening in a lot more places that we think

No, its definetely happening in CT too. Its not only the grades too. Its people thinking they are the shit and straight out bothering you for no apparent reason. Not to be racist, but I think the cause of it for most Puerto Ricans is that they are too lazy to even bother to learn English, and they still won't give a shit about schoolwork. Its also alot of people trying to rep their "gangsta" image while listening to 50 Cent and all of the other pop stars.
