A good day in urban education: three 7th grade girls who have been hanging around with me since 4th grade have decided to enter our states science fair. Its a big, scary deal -- the judges are top CT scientists and city kids typically dont do well. Mine do well. One girls parents didnt have the money for her share of the registration -- they had to juggle finances before payday to put $17.50 in an envelop for her. Another girl did extra chores to get her $17.50 fee. The third girl couldnt find a partner so she scrounged $19.00, borrowed $14.50 from her sister and another $1.50 from a teachers aide -- to get the $35.00 fee by todays deadline. Determination is step one. Stay tuned.
