I believe that Douglass Learning Center has great potential to service low-income families but the quality of teachers needs to be increased. You don't want to feel that just because you don't have alot of money that your child is not entitled to good academic programs. There is also the misconception that low income families do not focus on their child's education which is truly false. There is not enough parent involvement outside of wanting to know all of your income information to provide to the government and home visits. That is the only interaction I have seen. It is not encouraged by the school to get more involved and that can truly be devasting to a child's education. I believe with the right leadership this school has great potential.
