<p>^ Indeed Marite, that is true. With our head in the sand, we ignore at our own peril the ramifications of the failure of the educational system for so many kids.</p>

<p>On another note, did someone here once mention a not-for-profit that was engaged strictly in the college admissions process for low income/at risk kids? I'd love to know who that is.</p>
<p>The sad part is there are some kids who are qualified to go to college but who have so little support they are unable to complete the admissions and financial aid processes. (Many have parents who are completely unwilling to give information to anything that resemebles a government entity - i.e. FAFSA.)</p>
