They walk the talk. People trust them with their children. Our schools can’t say that because their concern for our Black and Brown children regardless of SES is so fake. Providence put in the work for years to build strong relationships with their families. The stuff that low income, minority families put up with in the DMV won’t fly there. [/quote]

Most minority/low income families know how to make child care work as they have to do it at other times, like the summer.  Its the other families, mainly those who over spent on housing to be in the "good" school districts who are now struggling as they cannot afford child care without lifestyle changes.  They aren't willing to make those changes.[/quote]
