1. Maybe the point is that some kids will be left behind.
And it's just not fixable unless you fix their parents and their culture and their attitudes towards learning. I used to think teachers could do this for kids, but I've been disabused of that notion by the many teachers in this board.

Maybe that is what affluent parents provide for their kids that many people in poverty can't because they themselves don't possess it.
