Dear Ronald Fryer

I have read you’re an article about some different initiatives you have implemented at the New York Schools. I think there must be other ways to change the pupil will to study. Incentives as money and cell phones must only be a temporarily solution to the problem. I do not think it will work because we are talking so small amount of money the pupil will earn on studying hard. It is much more tempting to sell drugs or steel because the money is so much bigger. Instead I believe the problem must be solved where it all began to go wrong. It is within the families the problem lies. It is the way they raise their kids or the lack of it that creates these immense problems with crime and will to study even a bit. When the families live in ghettoes and the parents or the parent lack raising their kids they learn everything from the street. And on the street nobody cares about going to school or getting an education. I think the authorities should step in and try to split up the ghettoes so that blacks better can adapt to society. Social workers should be sent into the ghettoes and try to help the families with guidance to how to become a better family and maybe move away from the ghettoes. If their kids are raised in another and better environment the chance of blacks raised better and achieving success will be more likely.
From day one in the schools the teacher have to teach that it is okay to study hard and trying to become something. Crime only leads to more crime and that jail will be the place where they spend the most of their time if the do not break free of the vicious circle. I believe this will change the pupils way of thinking and make the want to become more integrated in the society and want to study harder. That they realize that they got all the possibilities in front them and the just have to reach out and pass it on to their children.
