...aren't the only obstacle. The state of Illinois last spring tried to crack down on schools in Oak Park that order in lunch from McDonald's, Domino's, Subway, KFC or Tasty Dog once or twice a week as part of a lucrative fund raiser sponsored by the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). But parents fought the state for a special waiver; in exchange, they made some minimal concessions, such as serving pretzels instead of chips alongside the hot dogs. "You could make it a little more health conscious if you skipped the fries and put an apple [with...
...Modi grew up in Vadnagar, a small town of 40,000 in the semiarid scrub about 200 kilometers from the Pakistani border.

Bell has cared for 45 babies in the past five years, and can regularly be seen around campus with a baby in tow, who she brings to class. “It was most stunning for me to get to the Kennedy School and realize how little people knew about...
...when we mailed in that Harvard acceptance card, the chances that we will ever be foster parents decreased greatly. “As income level and education level increase, the likelihood that you will be a foster parent plummets,” says Bell. The Department of Social Services (DSS) struggles to recruit parents with socioeconomic and educational resources. Though good and bad parents come from all facets of society, the recruitment attempts should resonate at Harvard, where every year 1,600 students graduate, a group that will have the most socioeconomic resources to deal with foster children...
