Gompers Prep, in a neighborhood with more than 50 gangs, is offering Latin
As a former Gompers student and graduate I was there throughout the 90's being bussed in as part of the magnet program. The former principal there did drive the school into the ground and ruined it's once great history. I'm very happy to see that the school has been reclaimed by the neighborhood, caring teachers and the parents of the students. During my time there I'd say the #1 problem with the school was the complete lack of parental involvement. Kids come from families where school is an afterthought to parents and there is no push to excel from home. The parents simply expect teachers to put in 100% of the work needed to raise their children. It's great to see that someone has finally broken through this cultural problem. As for ChuckAdkins, as a former student this is not a fluff piece, but refreshing knowledge that my school is rebuilding its legacy of academic prowess. Chuck, go spend a week observing and assisting in low income schools across the county and then try and call this fluff.— December 11, 2009 10:23 a.m.
