A couple of inconvenient facts left out of the story. The Chinese Government requires 8th graders to take a standardized test. If the student does not place at or near the top, the child cannot continue on to higher education. They are designated to trade schools or directly to work. Now that there is a middle class in China, some choose to send their children to the US to continue on. In addition, inner city Catholic Schools are often rejected for the program based on their racial and ethnic makeup. Seems the program can only "sell" a certain "type" of school to Chinese parents.

I just don't understand why parents wouldn't want to send their children to schools located in the inner-city.
