[quote=Anonymous]It's not doable politically or financially, but since kids perform poorly for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with intelligence and learning, you have to have remedies that go well beyond the academic. So you need to turn the schools into a place where kids (and their families) in need can get all kinds of services: health care, help with qualifying for social service programs, family counseling, etc. I'm not saying that principals and teachers should provide these services, only that the schools serve as the gateway to such services. That will take a lot more money, staff and infrastructure -- which are only a few of the reasons that this idea isn't going anywhere politically or financially. [/quote]
