[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a school filled almost entirely with families who live near or below the poverty level, how do you make it succeed? More money?[/quote] I have to agree it is hard to imagine how it can be made into a great school. There are so few experiments outside the Harlem Children's Zone to know what can be done. Frankly, I think the reason so many of us flee poor schools is that we know that reducing poverty cannot be done on the backs of education. It has to involve better housing, wages, quality food, community supports like quality child care from birth. In the current polarized political and generational dialogue this seems impossible. After-all pensioners vote, well off people vote, poor and children do not. [/quote]
