Families who don't care about education is a problem. It shocks me when I hear about kids who live in houses without books, when you can buy used books for pennies or get them free from the library.

It's a really be problem. But you should be less "shocked" that there are kids who grow up in homes w/o books. There are a lot of parents who don't read them..and not just those who don't care about education.

This is primarily an educational issue, not an integration issue.

Well sorta. There are kids, who given the opportunity, rises above their station even w/o the full support of their parents. We read stories about them everyday. So there are indeed benefits to economic integration that may be more of an aid to those who are trying to move themselves up than those who have already reached, "that deluxe apt in the sky."
