do you identifiy with James in any way

I cannot identify with James in terms of personal experience, but I can in terms of students I've had through the years. Many students from other neighborhoods attend our school. This happens for many reasons, but most often these students live in poverty stricken areas, which are also deemed unsafe by their parents. I admire any parent willing to travel further to insure their child have the best and safest education available. Options for knowledge is important. James' mother did what she felt was best for her children's education.
