[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 126199, member: 1967"] MWM ~ The charter school I described was for low income inner-city children whose home schools are far below average. And as for their home lives -- let's just say that they were better off in school or doing homework than running the streets. The KIPP schools were designed as an alternative to schools where there were heavy drop out rates, teenage pregnancy, gangs and violence. 80% of KIPPsters are now going on to college so I guess that doing 2 hours of homework a night is paying off for them. The irony is that the school has had to restrict their attendance zip codes to low income areas right around the school because so many middle income families were seeing their success and trying to get their children into the school. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
