Soon after starting his job as supervisor of the Memphis，Tenn.，public schoois，Kriner Cash orderedan assessment of his new district’s l04，000 students.What most concerned him was that the number ofstudents considered“highly mobile，’’meaning they had moved at least once during the school year,hadballooned to34，000.At least l，500 students were homeless--probably more.It led him to think over anunusual suggestion：What if the best way to help kids in poverty-stricken urban neighborhoods is to getthem out?
Cash is now calling for Memphis to create a residential school for 300 to400 kids whose parents arein financial distress.His proposal is at the forefront（前線．of a broader national trend.Public boardingschools are hardly a new concept.But publicly financing boarding school for inner-city kids is a verydifferent suggestion.‘
If Cash’s dream becomes a reality.it will probably look a lot like SEED（School for Educational
Evolution and Development．，whose 320 students Uve on campus five days a week.

It may help to consider the experience of SEED student Mansur Muhammad，17.when he arrivedseven years ago，the first few weeks were tough.But Muhammad hasn’t looked back.He maintains a 3.2GPA and reshelves books in the school’S library for$160 every couple of days，when he’S not in his roomnstenmg to rap or classical music and writing poetry.Insp打ed by a teacher，Muhammad is working on abook.“It was a long road for me to get here，”he says，“and I have a long way to 90.”
