Who would thought people with a hip hop mentality would have wasteful spending habits and poor planning skills?

An innovative public high school designed to engage students with a hip-hop-centered curriculum is in jeopardy of being shut down before it ever opens because of logistical and financial lapses by its leaders.
. . .
At an open house at the still-under-renovation building Aug. 28, school officials presented the unpainted walls, furniture-free classrooms and lack of plans as a plus for students, who would get to help shape the program and decorate and furnish their new school.
. . .
From March 2010 to this July, for instance, Jayasuriya got $68,000 for her work trying to get the school off the ground. And Troy McNair, the Florida-based brand manager for the Grammy-winning hip-hop trio De La Soul, was paid $79,000 to design curriculum units to help students create a record label and to sign on artists including De La Soul's Maseo to endorse and advise the school.
That left school organizers without money to buy desks, textbooks, computers or more than a smattering of recording equipment. They were hoping a hip-hop label or philanthropist would make a hefty donation, school leaders say, but none came through. They hoped to get donations of used desks or chairs but didn't.

What's amazing to me is the idiots who would send their kids there are likely the dem persuasion and have been spoonfed about corporations keeping them down and taking advantage of them, yet this sounds like nothing more then an attempt of a few people in the music industry to look for 'fresh meat' for their record labels. In essence it's nothing more then a corporation taking advantage of the opportunities there. :rofl:
I would bet the same group of people forming it wouldn't be ok with a school financed by BP geared towards kids inclined to engineering. Doh, people and their inability to bring thinking around full circle.

except on every other Friday in which case it is encouraged.
I'm curious if they taught English at this "school" or ebonics?

Judging from the way this whole thing went down...I'd say ebonics was the native language.

Maybe they could do that with Rastafarianism...they wouldn't learn shit (Still an improvement over a hip-hop school) but at least the music wouldn't be quite as annoying and they'd be too high on ganja to fight (Effectively, anyway). As a plus, it would be reasonably relevant to learning West Coast life skills, like getting MJ scrips for bogus ailments, followed by filing for disability based on the scrip and its supporting documentation.
