[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools cannot overcome the parental advantage/ disadvantage faced by kids 18 hours a day outside of school.  You cannot just throw $ at the problem.[/quote]

This.

OP, please look this up. How much $$ is being spent on the worst schools vs the best ones?[/quote]

Depends on how the money is spent. It’s usually spent on tech and other bells and whistles in bad schools. It needs to be spent hiring extra teachers [/quote]

It still won't help.  I will tell you this that there is not a DAMN thing that can be done until PARENTS change.  I don't believe for a second that it all comes down to a parent's attitude.     Even if their life is "unfair" and they are poor, etc.     You can find a million examples of immigrants, poor people, etc, that with the right attitude, got a great education and listen themselves up.   People need to stop ingraining the attitude that more needs to be done for people so that people can go back to "I need to do something to change my life".
