The Dilemma Of Urban Culture for Children - Nu Leadership Series
“ Every failure is a blessing in disguise, providing it teaches some needed lesson one could not have learned without it. Most so-called Failures are only temporary defeats.” Napoleon HillPop culture challenges traditional values and places a heavy burden on inner city youth. Children in an urban culture may have different life experiences than other children; this experience may give them a different view of education.
