I thank God for all of the kids, the MIT students and the inner city students. May God continue to bless all of them. Hey kids, good luck at your diversity meet this summer.
Good story, with major lessons for public education in the cities: athletic activities, which are often unavailable, but can provide discipline and a sense of confidence; continuous one on one personal attention, which is impossible with the cutbacks in teaching staff; and emotional support and praise.
