LALEE'S KIN

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
The people are illiterate, all they have are each other, the school has limited funding, and they cannot find certified teachers that are willing to work in the Delta. The people in the Delta are stuck in a cycle and they really do not know where to start to break that cycle.

HOW DO WE FIX IT?
Get teachers who want to help the children succeed; teachers who can understand their background and not judge them or put limitations on them. The students need to start with basic grammar, spelling, reading, context clues and then on to basic math. They need to work on it everyday and be encouraged to want more out of life. The state needs to send more funds to help get them the materials they need to be successful.

WHY IS IT STILL AROUND?
They still cannot get any certified teachers and there is no money. This is all the people know so it is hard for them to change when they do not have any help. Learning starts at home, but if the parents or care takers are illiterate they cannot teach the children simple as that. The people are living in poverty and they have bigger issues than sending their kids to school or taking time to try and help them with their work. School really isn't a big deal for most of them.
