Pretty crazy stuff. It doesn't bode well for the future of urban areas in America to be creating a permanent under-class of uneducated city dwellers. Especially since decent paying (read: unionized) jobs in unskilled labour will likely continue to decrease for the foreseeable future. It's all especially crazy coming from a school that (I once heard) has the highest percentage of students going on to university in the country. I can't think of a single high school classmate who didn't continue in their schooling in some respect, let alone not graduate.
