Advantaged Quotes
Young people have so much talent, the difference for single-parent disadvantaged kids is opportunity.

We hope to have some mid-range apartments on the block to supply the needs of the downtown labor force. We'll have all sorts of different people in there, but it will be a little different than it is now. It may not be servicing the low-income and disadvantaged, although it may, I don't know. It may stay how it is, to a degree, although I'm sure we'll upgrade it.

We have two schools with high numbers of disadvantages students. Now, the state mandates a 22-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio in the classroom, but what we do right now is have a 19-to-1 student ratio from pre-kindergarten to third grade at those (economically disadvantaged) campuses. The third grade is when they start TAKS and reading. We want to make sure we have those kids prepared for their future. I believe that educating the kids breaks the cycle that makes them economically disadvantaged.
