Funny, I was thinking a little along those lines when I was laying awake with my insomnia last night. I was thinking of African Americans, though. How can you possibly persuade these kids that school is a worthwhile endeavor - especially when it so often isn't. Schools in largely low income African American neighborhoods often lack such essentials as libraries, computers, science labs, etc. Teachers are either afraid or indifferent. How can these children possibly attain the education that would pull them out of poverty? It's tragic.
