[quote=Anonymous]From this interview with the author http://www.elle.com/culture/books/a46121/dream-hoarders-feature/ [b]"I can't emphasize this point strongly enough," he replies, "but I don't think we should treat our own children as social-policy interventions.[/b] And poor parents, by the way, if you go to them and say, 'I'm not [paying for tutoring] because I'm egalitarian,' they'd say, 'What the hell is wrong with you?'" He does offer some suggestions to address the imbalance: Match the amount spent on enrichment experiences for your child to assist a needier child; find a family to "adopt," and invest in their children's educations; or follow the lead of the affluent public school that his kids attend—for every dollar the PTA raises, the group gives 50 cents to a low-income DC school.
