[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is that when you take a failing kid living in poverty and put him in a brand new multi million dollar school with best teachers he will still fail.[/quote] And so? [quote=Anonymous] You can't solve problems by throwing money at them.[/quote] That's a lame cop-out. There's plenty that money can do. Just fixing facilities isn't going to do it. Having money for councilors / therapists and wrap around services for the child / family will certainly improve their outcome.[/quote] This is true. Actually, you could probably get really good outcomes by just giving poor parents lots of money. Poverty is the problem. Make them not poor. The solution is simple. Problem is, there's no way you can sell those policies to the American electorate. So you're back to square one.[/quote]
