[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its more than just interpreters. I thought the section on computers was interesting. Low income parents were excited that their kids would get access to them while UMC parents were against them in school. To a UMC parent whose kid gets access to an iPad or computer, there is no concern about computer literacy. UMC parents also advocate for more GT centers, acceleration, tracking and other program that end up being used by mostly UMC students and few URM students. In local schools, those re-allocations make a difference.

I also think that the school system takes advantage of the fact that low income families don't question the school system. The worst type of school leaders do nothing to actually listen to low income families and instead just say that the "silent majority" is behind them on whatever poorly constructed idea or plan they are presenting.

Excellent article, and the computer literacy aspect is an excellent point. Thank you for posting this.[/quote]
