[quote=Anonymous]I have co-workers, mostly secretaries in at the law firm where I work that have children at KIPP. Here is how I see SES and KIPP, it is very focused on teaching middle class values and achievement norms. The people I know for any number of reasons, family obligations, single parents want their children to have opportunity and know the local schools and frankly parenting skills of the local kids won't give their kids the opportunity. So no you will not have the economic profile of the JKLMM schools at KIPP but most schools nation-wide won't because that area is incredibly wealthy. But you have a majority of parents who think of themselves in an upwardly mobile kind of way and that makes a lot of difference.[/quote]
