Indigo Children: Bollocks or Buddhas?

Quite likely! Many of the estate's residents have multiple problems and they are probably intertwined. Poverty, poor education, lack of opportunities leading to drug and alcohol problems that lead to prostitution to pay for it and so on. The estate was given £54 million in the 'New deal for communities' initiative. Working in partnership with London South Bank Uni, Morley college and starting homework clubs, the GCSE pass rate for the estate is up 15% year on year for the past 2 yrs. Community wardens on 24 hour patrol mean that crime is now actually 20% lower than for Southwark Borough as a whole. Drug programs and youth inclusion schemes mean things are tangibly better for the residents. They're knocking the estate down though anyway! To reign in a conversation that has digressed as only an abc discussion can, according to sociologists 'cultural creatives' (and therefore those more likely to label their kids 'indigos') are drawn almost exclusively from the middle-classes and upper-middle-classes. So unlikely to be many of them in my area! jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net
