[quote=Anonymous][quote]And it’s interesting that you didn’t mention the Anacostia kids going to Langley and getting the option to take additional classes for free.[/quote]

What are you talking about?

Tell us, do children receive a better education (in terms of resources, etc.) at Langley High or Anacostia?

[quote]How many of them do you think would do that?[/quote]

I bet many would take extra classes if they could do so. And by afford to do so, I would include the kids who are working part-time jobs to help support themselves and their families.

The entire tone of your posts implies that the children in poorer schools do not work as hard as the students in wealthier schools.

However:  Six out of 10 of the teenagers identified in the [Urban Institute] study [of low-income families] earned less than $10,000 a year working in restaurants, on construction sites, cleaning buildings, among other things. A third of the kids contribute more than 20 percent of the total annual income of their households, a tenth contributed more than 50 percent, the study said.
