Accountability for Poverty

Milwaukee Journal - Sentinel Editorial:

As a matter of editorial policy, we don't accept poverty as an excuse for poor school performance. We expect that rather than wishing they had a different class of students, schools take students wherever they are and develop their talents so that they can cope and thrive in later life. At the same time, we recognize that poverty poses stiff challenges for educators.
