[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Teachers can't solve these problems; societies with less inequality and poverty are those that focused honestly on making more equal societies. That doesn't mean better lessons. It means the things Americans continue to oppose collectively: things like universal healthcare, guaranteed paid maternal leave, universal childcare, affordable housing, and living wages. [b]The rich/poor gap starts from the day children are born[/b] and no school on Earth can change that. Until we actually work to make our society an equal one, no amount of punishing teachers or students with extra work and assessments will change the realities of students' lives the 16 hours a day they *aren't* in school.[/quote]

It starts at conception as many of these children are born to children themselves. I'd say half of my middle schoolers are pregnant by the time they are 17 yrs old. They continue to act like the teenagers that they are when they are pregnant. They don't exactly change their behaviors when they are with child either. Nobody in their families/neighborhood think this is a tragedy either. None of them were going to college anyway so what difference does it make if they finish high school? That's the general consensus.[/quote]

Maybe we need to rethink how we do school in these kinds of situations then. Let's stop kidding ourselves. [/quote]
