a teacher from Union Hill

is pointing out that we don't have all different levels at Union Hill, that lots of kids are at the same low level.
"Have we ever thought of mixing it up?"
Since "I've been here, I don't know how many books we've been through"
(changing the curriculum)
"we need the parents with us...need to hold the parents accountable...need them on our side...teach them that education is a way out of poverty. Unless the parents buy that, these changes aren't going to happen"
