[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious answers only. How can schools raise performances of students at the lowest levels? Free meals help nourish brains and bodies, are they "healthy" is questionable. What else? It it sending home books (lots of books) for them to read? More math practice practice practice. Is it helping change their attitude towards learning, less screen time? Is it identifying learning disorders in Pre-K (if eligible) or by K? Parents/guardians of these students need assistance too but there is time and language and cultural barriers- getting them information about identifying learning issues, ELL services, attitude/views about learning?

You can't.  Education is not valued by these parents and family - due to poverty, dysfunction, culture, language barrier etc.  Parents themselves are ill-educated or uneducated.  There is poverty and lot of neglect, abuse, abandonment of children.  There is zero understanding of the value of education in the modern world and what opportunities it can make available for people.

This is the underclass population.  And what needs to be done is to give them the training that can actually be of practical use to them for menial jobs that will not be taken over by AI.

Many of these families do value it but the opportunities are not the same at all schools and kids who have special needs, delays, language barriers needs are not being met.  [/quote]
