For real.
Schools have to find ways to adapt to the populations they serve. The formula that works for privileged people will not work for the underprivileged. And make no mistake: Privilege is exactly what we're talking about here (for example—and this is just one of many—
the privilege to be free of a legal and law enforcement that isn't stacked against you).
Anyway, I think in the past decade schools have finally realized this and started getting more creative. I'm somewhat wary of charter schools, but I appreciate the innovation they foment and imagine that, among them, certain models will emerge as the most successful and worthy of replication.
