My kid goes to Eastern. The school has a lot of challenges, but they are working hard to give every kid all the support and opportunities they can. The teachers (for the most part, there's always going to be some not great teachers in any school) are so dedicated, they really do go above and beyond. That marching band practices like crazy. They are there all the time, over summer, during breaks, on days like today when there is no school, they're there. I wish this article could focus on the kids. They're worth talking about on their own, they don't need to be written in the weird ass condescending glorification of "the poors".
