[quote=Anonymous]I think it's because there is a much higher concentration of families of uneducated recent immigrants (and even many undocumented people) living in those areas because housing is less. Many of these people don't have the background or current ability to prioritize education for themselves and their kids. Lots of undocumented people, people who are illiterate in their own languages, struggling to communicate and navigate the many complexities of being a poor immigrant, little to no schooling for themselves, etc. etc. It sucks, because kids are plopped down in the schools, can't speak English, haven't been read to, don't have books at home, can't get help on homework, often miss a lot of school, rarely hear or speak English at home, don't have parent role models for obtaining education and having a professional job, and on and on.
