Here's an article showing how Camden, NJis plagued by the same issues of poverty as Chicago is. The article includes this statement: "But in Camden, even great teachers face obstacles that are difficult to overcome. Increasingly, educators and experts are questioning the reformers’ tactics and asking whether the single-minded focus on schools has become an excuse to avoid the hard work of addressing poverty.
Leaders in Chicago, Camden and other cities might benefit from using the maps and other ideas hosted in this forum and on TMC web sites.
If we can find the money and/or partners we can build even better information for people to use in understanding the distribution of tutor/mentor programs, the differences between programs, and the steps each program, along with the business and philanthropic community, might take to grow from "good to great".

I posted some links in the Discussion Forums on the T/MC site, about efforts to create Promise Zones in Chicago that would duplicate the Harlem Children's Zone in NYC. Central to such efforts will be a need to know what services already are in each neighborhood, which is what the T/MC is providing.
