These kids want to go to school. The main obstacle? Paperwork
Associated PressATLANTA — It’s unclear to Tameka how — or even when — her children became unenrolled from Atlanta Public Schools. “I’m really taken aback that a district would set forth a series of policies that make it actually quite difficult to enroll your child.” In Atlanta, where Tameka lives, parents must present at least eight documents to enroll their children — twice as many as parents in New York City or Los Angeles. “I’m a private person.” On a typical school day, Tameka’s four children — now 14, 12, 9 and 8 — sleep late and stay inside watching television or playing video games. “I want to go to school,” she says, “and see what it’s like.” ____ The Associated Press education team receives support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
