Urban Slums: Stepping-Stone for Some and Traps (or Shields) for Others

Of course, that pre-supposes free public education. We don’t have that where I am now. Parents have to pay for uniforms, shoes, and books.

What return do I expect? What does success look like? Don’t skip due diligence, use structured evaluation (not gut instinct), look beyond the sticker price, validate claims with evidence, and know when to walk away.
