@JasmineArmani “Therefore, the parents and schools don’t have a lot of resources to help the low SES students to reach their potential, as this is the case in the area that I live. Most of the time the outcome is that the students often end up going to CC’s.”
Certainly resources help. Especially if the building is crumbling and they can’t find dependable quality teachers, and students are hungry and aren’t safe, but those things are only the tip of the iceberg. If you address them all, a significant gap will persist.
Any serious attempt to really eliminate this gap has to begin with educating the parents, or keeping the kids at school so much that you effectively replace the parents. Any other approach will fail.
