We have many characteristics that urban schools have. Our children are exposed to much more today. So they're growing up being much more aware. A long time ago, you were much more reliant upon what you got from home, what the teacher said to you, what you may have gotten from television. Today, the children can get information from everywhere more quickly.
Transportation is such that people can get from one corner of a city to another fast.
We're living in a different culture. Communication is heightened. People are more mobile. Development is occurring. Therefore, the schools directly reflect these concurring dynamics right now.
