This topic does need further discussing as far as suburban opportunities.

No one understands the pervasiveness of the challenges that our friends who have endured years of de…bt and drama in graduate school to become professionals, (especially those who are in higher education) who also have to deal with inequity and politics in local school districts (and still have to wave the PhD/JD/MD/MBA card in front of their child’s teachers/administrators), and/or overextend themselves in housing purchases to get their child into a “good school system” (but still provide extra tutoring), while still being on the tenure track or medical residency/childbearing or caring for infants/toddlers, and taking care of ailing parents or disadvantaged relatives. This, however, does not diminish the plight of our urban brothers and sisters who fight for daily subsistence and the safety of their children (especially girls) when they send them to school. It just shows that “parental involvement” and the “culture of poverty”/”Acting Black/Acting White” theses need to be laid to rest- Dr. Sallie Suburb and her cousin Ms. Ciera Citydweller are still not rewarded for “acting White”….
