You can't fix "stupid"....
No mandate, no gifted teacher, and no amount of money can ensure equality of outcome when students arrive at age four or five already irrevocabilty behind the learning curve. A child lacking access to books, blocks, mental stimulation, and parental attention from birth onward is NOT going to do well educationally. It is folly to think that this defecit can ever be overcome, except in the cases of the brightest and most intrinsically motivated young students. When parents do not value education, students do not learn..period.
