Things we KNOW are wrong with out schools, but we make no attempt to fix them.
- Summer break - originally done because teachers thought 'kids would have a psych break down if they worked too hard." Rich kids read over the summer, poor kids don't - as a result rich kids come back to school with better English skill's while poor kids come back with worse skills than when they left school in the spring.
- Bad parents (homeless, drug addicts, criminals, etc.)
- Focus on tests, as opposed to learning
- Focus on talent rather than work.
