It's almost like there isn't one cause and YET we try to find the one silver bullet over and over and over again. Some schools the issue is teacher quality. Some is curriculum and resources. Some is external factors like food insecurity, housing, or crime. It's weird like that. After decades in education, I can tell you that the same five ideas get rehashed every six to eight years. And we ignore that our education system is nothing but a reflection of society in the US. If you have money and connections, everything is groovy. If you don't, it's not.
