Morris Academy Mentors - Bronx Collaborative

This blog shares some of my thoughts and experiences with the Morris Academy Mentor Program. Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies is a public high school in the South Bronx. The purpose of the Program is to forge strong one-on-one relationships and bonds of trust between students at Morris Academy and caring adults willing to guide, counsel and commit themselves to those students.

New York Times Education reporter Michael Winerip published an article appearing in the November 16 issue of the New York Times describing the efforts of Admission Possible, nonprofit program based in Minneapolis that provides SAT/ACT prep and college admissions resources to lower income students the in Minneapolis/St. Paul region.

I believe these types of programs are crucial to limit the disparity in means for promising high school students. The irony is that the students most in need of formal instruction on both standardized testing and in college essay writing are precisely the ones that cannot afford it.
