[quote=Anonymous]Given how much is cultural, do the schools make this better or worse. I think one of the challenges is to be very candid with parents, but when I brought this up in a high FARM school we have since left no one was comfortable. I get if you are poor and without a car the idea of getting your kid across town to a cultural program is just not going to happen, but I still don't think schools have been willing to confront parents on this at the earliest grades. The afformentioned KIPP and Harlem Children's Zones are about the only places I have seen this discussion open up. Now the next question is how many of us are willing to mentor a child making that move? It is not such an easy move for a lot of reasons.[/quote]
