[quote=Anonymous]That is good to hear re: Gonzaga. We'll be looking at that school in a few years. There's the school culture, and then there's the home culture. I think a lot of this starts at home. My kid knows that I do not tolerate lazy language (cursing and slang), and I do tolerate some of the street fashion of our neighborhood. I tell my child that it is possible to be fashionable without looking like the people who are in lock up and it is important to know when to code switch. Many of the city's children have no clue. Mom and Dad are not teaching it at home, and school isn't addressing it either. I am beginning to think that we need to explore expanding single sex public education options. It might help if our young people can re-imagine what it means to be a man or woman.[/quote]
