Lets not mention the majority of parents at failing or low-performing schools rarely get involved...So I seriously don't see them getting their child to school on time to a school outside the local area. |
My wife teaches at an inner-city college preparatory charter school (Avid program if you're familiar with it).
What you say is often true, but not necessarily. There are quite a few kids who take public transportation to school.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
