Every time I turn on the news or read the paper the news is always talking about how bad Oakland, CA is because of the killing. I feel like the media portrays Oakland as a city where people should never put foot in because you might just get shot any where you go. The media makes people think that Oakland is not a place where you should raise your children. If the city of Oakland did they part, by giving young children jobs and having after school programs than there wouldn't be all this crime. The school has cut out a lot of after school programs and sports as well. The city of Oakland has to reconsider the things there are doing and make sure they bring back after school programs because Oakland has a high drop out of students. Oaklands drop out rate is 52% of students.. Damn now that is half of the students who might not even have a job since they dropped out of school. The city of Oakland has not done a good job with the school system at all and they should be ashamed of the drop out rate.
