[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For recent immigrant parents, I understand them not knowing or understanding the programs.

All others - it's disinterest or laziness

Those parents figure out how to make sure to know the sign up times for Angel Trees, fill put forms for free benefits like free lunch, how to go about purchasing smart phones and service, so yeah, they can figure out how to read the papers sent home from school and file the appeal.

You disgust me.[/quote]

Why? Because you can't wrap your mind around the idea because it doesn't fit your narrative?[/quote]

NP here. Actually you have no idea what you’re talking about. I work in a Title 1 school in FCPS and am in awe of the survival skills of our families. We have many parents who don’t know to fill out the forms and need help. We have many parents whose phones are in and out of service. And we have many parents who wouldn’t even know the first step in how to get a free WISC at GMU. For you it’s as simple as a drive to the mall. But when you’re living in a one bedroom, don’t speak the language and working 2-3 jobs including weekends, filing an appeal would be like asking you to file your taxes long form in Chinese. [/quote]

DP. I voted yes on meals tax. Unclear to me where the money is going to come from to give more resources. [/quote]
