The challenges to the education system go way deeper than just a better curriculum. I was speaking to a local administrator last week in our fairly affluent community and she estimated that about 10% of the kids in our district are functionally homeless. The only decent meals they will get are breakfast and lunch on school days. That many within this group don't have a place to wash their cloths. If the goal is to bring up things like test scores across the board with an improved curriculum then you have to first address some of these societal issues.
