Jennifer-- Yes, we are working with "at risk" kids. Phillip's
message about his 3rd graders was all about such kids. Right
now the end of social promotion is causing incredible strains
all over my part of the world, and my part is relatively
affluent and "non-risky" for a significant part of the population.

Actually, I wonder if there is anyone on xmca who works with kids
who is not working with kids considered "at risk".

This category is bugging me a lot also because of the rhetoric
of research on adolescent development which is saturated with
it. Cynthia Lightfoot's book on adolescents and risk taking
behavior is well worth reading for its critical approach to hte
issues.
