I wish that people would read the posting carefully before replying with their ‘interpretation.’ SoulOnIce, Marita clearly stated that she was referring to ‘some’ parents. Since she works in a school in a low-middle school neighborhood, the obvious assumption is that some of the parents in that school put little attention on academic achievement – not ALL low-income parents, as you assumed. As a person who grew up poor as well, I took no offense at the question or any underlying assumption.
