A small town in NC. called Roxabell has a large number of folks that are considered seasonal workers. Poor is a relative term but 12 years ago the average income not including welfare was about $14,000 a year.

Hand eye coordination and even math games ----the kids in most cases do not even realise they are learning---it becomes a game to them.
