[quote=Anonymous]I also used to be anxious when I heard about the percentage of children receiving FARMS at my son's elementary school. It is apparently about 35%, which is about average for the county. I am ashamed to say that I also worried they might be disruptive or ill-prepared children who would take up the teacher's time. Now that I have been coming to school to pick up my son for 2 months and have volunteered in his classroom, I have completely changed my perspective on this and I am sorry for what I used to think. All of the children I have interacted with have been enthusiastic, sweet, and, frankly, doing just fine in school -- some of them better than my little white kid. Apparently no one told them that they should be worse off because of what their parents do for a living. My son's new little best friends are kids whose parents immigrated from opposite sides of the world. Given my more homogenous childhood, I think that this is extraordinary, and I can't believe we might have missed this opportunity because we were worried about demographics. [/quote]
