ON “GOD’S KIDS”

D. L. Mayfield said: “By classifying schools as good or bad, failing or desirable, entire neighborhoods have been changed. People with means move into neighbourhoods with “good” schools, driving up prices that ensure lower-income families won’t be able to afford to live there. In an unequal system, choice leads to concentrations of lower-income communities that are often left with fewer resources for their schools. . . . I want what is best for all of God’s kids, which is why I continue to long for the day when we orient ourselves accordingly and choose to put resources into the places that have deliberately been ignored. Real education builds up – and it always starts at the very bottom because that is where we learn how to love and be loved by our neighbours.”
