[quote=Anonymous][quote] Uh, and how is that working out? I'd say we need to do even more. We need to get to the root causes (if you're hungry or your house is stressful, it's pretty hard to focus on school). [/quote] Hunger, we can fix. How do you fix stress? How do you make parents read to their kids, talk to them (instead of scream), be sure they are safe? etc. How do you keep people off of drugs? How do you make them get their kids to school? Sure, some of these situations are due to poverty--but poverty is no excuse for ignoring your kids. By the way, I don't have the answer. There was an article in WAPO last year about a woman who worked hard at getting to the food pantries early, etc. She had two working age kids living at home and could not get them to get up and help her. She could not get them to go apply for jobs. They slept in and were no help. How do you change that? [/quote]
