If there’s anything I like more than kids getting hurt, it’s kids getting a proper education. That’s why my ice cold heart melted just a little when B-Side Blog reader Rachel emailed me to let me know that a bunch of her students from a public middle school in Crenshaw just got accepted into several elite private schools in the greater Los Angeles region  all on full ride scholarships. Now Rachel and her fellow teachers are starting a nonprofit to aid these students as they move onwards and upwards in their new schools, which I wholeheartedly commend (if only for the potential real life Gossip Girl implications). Great job, Rachel!
To read more about Rachel’s students and their journey thus far, be sure to check out this Los Angeles Times article which ran earlier this week.
Huzzah!
