Whether it is because they are unfamiliar with the education system, lack the time, don't know how to facilitate their child's academic success, or simply have severe problems of their own - I've had few parents reach out for help. <br /><br />I tend to think it's mostly a knowledge or cultural problem (not ethnically, but in the limited "culture of poverty sense"). There's a ton of research on family environments in disadvantaged populations. They tend to be uneducated themselves, and unable to offer the kind of rich environment that supports cognitive, vocabulary, knowledge development that is a bedrock for academic success.<br /><br />This is a deficit that is really hard to overcome.

It simply can't be left up to teachers alone.Vidoqohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752427467116421393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202612581281976313.post-81684408818527835602011-11-18T07:50:46.963-08:002011-11-18T07:50:46.963-08:00I concur.. 100%.
