I picked a Memphis Blod that I thought would help me with my research on school assessment since we have to start writting the paper today. The title is "Smart City Memphis" and is about changing people's ideas and notions of our city. It mainly focuses on achievement in education though! Obviously right now many people see Memphis as a place that is not safe. Sure there are some places that you may feel safer in but really and truly how safe can you feel if you just finished watching the news for only 5 minutes and hear all the horror stories going on in our own city. Leaders of this article are broadcasting a radio at 6 A.M. on Saturdays and Sundays to talk about our life in the urban city. I think that our community is just excepting the fact that our city is rather rough and harmful. It is like we are giving into the fact and just letting it keep happen. We just need to stand up to it; make news rules of harsher punishment and it will not keep happening. It is just the same as kids not receiving adequate education. Both aspects are just accepting the fact that their are not good enough and they stop trying and just give up.

I agree with you Courtney. The people in this city just do not care anymore. The crime will continue to get worse and so will the education. I think something huge will have to happen in order for people to get the message. I think the same goes for education in they city schools too. It have become a nightmare over the past few years. It continues to go down hill as people sit around and watch it.
Awesome post. Yes, Smart City Memphis is a good blog to read and find some good information there. I usually go there to find information I need for my research. Some people do care about education and are concerned and mad while others are not really doing much. In this case it could be the parents. Education officials in the school system can do better, but changing some things around such a board policies.
