[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay here's the thing.. most kids from poor families with uneducated parents grow up not thinking that college or some type of higher education is a reality for them. It's not even in their thought process.  We need to change that culture- for the kids AND for the parents.    [/quote]

Central American countries only mandate school until 6th grade. Not a value. Not a concept. 
That plus zero assimilation here = Still not a value. [/quote]
Bingo! 4 sentences sum up the problem with the OP's theory.  No way busing will fix this.[/quote]

But kids aren’t their parents.

Hey everybody: raise your hand if you have more education than your parents. It may be hard to believe, but over a third of American college students today have parents who did not go to college: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-generation_college_students_in_the_United_States

You really can’t just write off a generation of students because they don’t have the right parents.[/quote]
