One problem may be that Children need structure and stimulating education both at home and at school. Schools are much like practice, everyone should go to practice "school" but it may be what one does outside of practice "Home" that can create separation from everyone else going to practice. Some Parents need to be involved more at home after school educating their kids with extra projects and lessons. This may be increasingly difficult to accomplish when the parents are working two jobs, divorced, or strung out needing help themselves. jmo
In areas that are poor like Puna's, some children are not able to experience "life within a positive environment" by going outside of the home or home town often enough. Then they go to schools who offer little outside experienced speakers or excursions and opportunities elsewhere. Many children and adults for that matter have a way of learning by a hands on approach. The "dollar" these days both in the home and in schools may be holding some children back from really opening up and learning more. jmo.
