You can't get people to 'do more of something' if they don't show up for class, and fundamentally don't care because none of their peers do.
'Regular Teaching' works 100% well everywhere around the world where students show up ready to learn.
This is 100% a community/parent/student issue.
More conscientiousness, community participation, stable / 2 parent / married homes, 'Some Kind of Health Insurance', steady jobs, low crime, no druggie/prison parents, not living in fear, no gangs, no gang culture, other students who have normal levels of academic (and other) interests.
And they'll do fine.
Big reforms in Healthcare, Justice and for Economic Stability / Jobs would go a long way, but it will also take community participation.
It's not the curriculum or teachers. They work fine everywhere else, they work fine in Cali.
Kids that have something resembling what we might think of as a 'normal childhood' will do 'mostly fine'.
