Or at least a motivated guardian. If you can't get that, how about a really motivated teacher (Jaime Escalante, for example). And make sure there are enough textbooks to go around. In some impoverished areas, like Compton CA, school districts are notorious for spending money on administrator salaries, consultants etc and not on the kids. In Kansas City, MO, we have a Head Start program that made sure its administrator, Duane Crompton, made over $300,000 a year in salary,had a nice luxury automobile to drive and a beautiful furnished residence, but didn't accomplish much for the kids. Head Start is a nice program, if criminals like that don't screw it up. |
