'Stoop kids' vs. 'corner kids'
The HBO series, "The Wire," continues a provocative story arc centering on an inner-city Baltimore middle school.
As part of a fictional University of Maryland's professor's experiment, the school will pull the roughest-edged "corner kids," who are chronically disruptive and many of whom already have begun to sell drugs, from their classes.
The remaining "stoop kids," who tend to be more motivated in class, now presumably will be able to concentrate without the disruptive influence of the corner kids.
As for what awaits the corner kids, I'm not sure. I'll have to tune in next week.

BIG MISTAKE!
They should call Terry Grier. He'll explain how the "corner kids" will get smarter just by sitting next to "stoop kids".
Da, thought that was common knowledge by now.
