[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher in a lower income area. I can't always tell who is lower middle income and who is really poor. But I can tell which families talk with and read to their children. I can tell which families read the newsletters and try and do some of the homework with their kids. I can tell which families do something other than just sit their kids in front of the TV or not. I can tell which ones teach their kids manners, to say please and thank you, to wait patiently. Manners, work ethic, and reading don't take a lot of money. Fwiw, I'd rather work with the families in my school over the upper income families right in the same boundaries who avoid our school and send them to private school. I love my students[/quote]
