21392, I TOTALLY agree w/ u on this..
Posted by UrbanCowgRRL, Tue Sep-12-00 08:26 AM
i work at an after school tutoring/sports program in a predominately black school...they will have big meetings for all the parents..4 will show up...the girls i coached would be left waiting for their parents...nobody would come to their games..

I had my friends come to cheer them on..and they REALLY appreciated it...something im going to try to implement this year...is CALLING the parents...and reminding them..that their children have worked hard and their participation means the WORLD to these kids...

SO take action...go door to door in communities...if their parents are generally busy or negleting..i know old folks too that would love to have a child companion..to share stories and such...TRY IT OUT...

Much love,
Kyle
