This assumes the problems and solutions lie mostly in the schools themselves.

If you ever have the opportunity to talk to young black urban males you would understand.
some companies do a good job of training and developing unskilled workers. McDonald's and Walmart are two that come to mind. My first real job was at Mcdonald's and some of the money I earned for college came from working there. I started cleaning the lobby and the bathrooms when I was 16 - some of the people from my HS would come in and make jokes about me cleaning toilets for at the time was about $2.10 per hour. A year later at 17 I was an assistant manager.
Liberals think McDonald's and Walmart are harmful. Liberals send young people the false message that corporate America is racist, and is the enemy. It is shameful. From a big picture point of view, it has been this message that has done tremendous harm to young black urban males. Someone has to be an adult to these men and tell them to go to work.
