To really solve problems requires analysis and effort.
Unfortunately, the left is not strong in these points. So they throw more money at the problem, hoping that it will magically disappear. But it won’t.
They need to apply problem-solving methodology. Unfortunately, an analysis might show that the problem lies in the culture of the students entering the school—and the solution to that is difficult and time-consuming.
Bottom line to all of this is the culture. It’s parents who support the school and make sure their kids do their homework vs. parents who don’t give a rat’s rear. You can throw money at the schools in the rat’s rear group all day long and it’s not going to see one ounce of improvement.
We placed our kids in a church preschool for 6 hours a week. All but one of those kids graduated public high school with honors. We would joke it was because of the preschool, but of course it was because the parents were involved in the school and saw that their kids studied and did their schoolwork.
