There are a lot of programs for gifted students. There also are a lot of remedial programs for the ones who aren’t making the grade. But it’s very rare to find something that reaches out to the middle third of young people, who just may have the most to gain.

I find that intriguing. It’s one reason I work with Odyssey—a program that over the summer brings students from Atlanta Public Schools to The Westminster Schools, one of the area’s leading private schools.
