One big difference however, Carter locked the kids out for low grades etc. Reeves was always on the boarder of being the ringleader of a "Grade Fixing" conspiracy at Carver. Kinda like the racism topic. Reeves, like many people, beleived that basketball was the best chance for these kids to get out of the Hood despite the odds of most of them doing so. In 'Artist" the art teacher almost had to beat Reeves ass to get him to take an honest look at reality. By the same token, too often people (white and black) push college as the way out but, if a kid is unprepared for the demands of college classes and the freedoms of being on their own, what have they gained by being in college other than playing a game? You can lead a kid to college but you cant make 'em think! I always say I met some of the dumbest people I know in college.
