(46,192 posts)the solution, at least better than any of the boutique solutions is to end the effects of poverty, period.
you will help the poor of all races, help them be prepared mentally and physically to get a proper education --which will cost you less because they are prepared.
and those races that are most victimized by society will get the most help because there are more poor among their numbers than in other groups.
and that is the ONE thing we could do that would improve our schools overnight.
make sure all children have food, shelter, health care and the opportunity for education and higher education --and make sure their parents have the same.
the results from that would be unimaginable.
no tricky experiments to try, no games to play while we figure out what to do.
just freaking deal with the effects of poverty by making sure people are shielded from its effects.
