Fragmentation

This is cross-posted from the Disruption Department blog, and while St. Louis focused, I believe the coop can provide some insight into some problems I’m struggling with.
It’s interesting to think of community education in light of the issues brought forward by a recent @jessicabock article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
I’ve often struggled with the most appropriate ways to approach our service to our community’s (communities’) families.  I think the difference of our approach is that we listen and provide resources and means, rather than articulating some end we want people to meet.
We ascribe no general “reform” answer, but rather seek to help community members provide more human educational opportunities for our cities students, connecting them with the outside world that befits their talents
