    What problem would you like to solve?

    Schools in the community are lacking resources to be able to teach students in a way that make them competitive with students in more affluent communities and who have more money to afford tutors and private programs.

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

    With the end of affirmative action in schools being litigated in the Supreme Court, there is no real equitable way to equalize the field when it comes to making kids in low income communities competitive with kids in communities with more money. Of course kids in better communities with more money are going to do better in exams like the SAT. How are we supposed to compete? How are we supposed to look competitive to ivy league schools? Are we not meant to enter these schools?

    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    We need more programs in afterschool and weekends that offer tutoring and extra education for families at low cost or no cost to families. Families should be able to have a place where their kids can learn more where the DOE is failing them in schools that do not have the resources. In many asian communities there are programs and afterschools that offer SAT training and prep. Places that even kids from middle school start at to get ahead. Black and brown communities need this too.

    Who would that help?

    People in low income communities who cannot afford extra programs that want their kids to succeed on equal ground with people in more expensive communities who make more money.

    What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

    Manhattan/Dyckman/Inwood
